    Valley State Bank Banana Cream Pie


    Source of Recipe


    Joanna M. Lund


    Recipe Introduction


    I created this pie for the grand opening of a new bank in Bettendorf, Iowa. It was inspired by the favorite flavors of the bank president, but I'll bet someone you know will relish it just as much.
    Serves 8


    List of Ingredients


    • 2 cups (2 medium) diced bananas
    • 1 (6-ounce) Keebler shortbread piecrust
    • 1 (4-serving) package JELL-O sugar-free instant banana cream pudding mix
    • 2/3 cup Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk Powder
    • 1 1/4 cups water
    • 1 teaspoon almond extract*
    • 1 cup Cool Whip Free*
    • 2 tablspoons (1/2 ounce) chopped almonds
    • 4 maraschino cherries, halved


    Instructions


    1. Layer bananas in bottom of piecrust. In a large bowl, combine dry pudding mix, dry milk powder, and water. Mix well using a wire whisk. Blend in 1/2 teaspoon almond extract and 1/4 cup Cool Whip Free. Spread pudding mixture evenly over bananas. Refrigerate while preparing topping. In a small bowl, combine remaining 3/4 cup Cool Whip Free and remaining 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Spread topping mixture evenily over set filling. Evenly spinkle almonds over top and garnish with cherry halves. Refridgerate for at least 1 hour. Cut into 8 servings.


    Final Comments


    HINT: To prevent bananas from turning brown, mix with 1 teaspoon lemon juice or sprinkle with Fruit Fresh.
