List of Ingredients

PECAN PIE CRUST:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans

FILLING:
1 pound cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1 cup heavy cream, stiffly whipped
2 large bananas, sliced
juice of 1/2 lemon
GARNISH:
1 cup whipped cream, whipped


Recipe

CRUST: Mix pie crust ingredients until soft dough forms. Press into 9-inch pie pan and bake at 350ºF until golden brown, about 25 minutes. (The crust will be soft to the touch but will harden as the crust cools.) Remove from oven and let cool. Beat together cream cheese, powered sugar and gelatin until stiff. Fold in stiffly whipped cream. Add sliced bananas, which have been tossed with lemon juice. Pour into pecan pie crust. Refrigerate for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Top with 1 cup whipped cream and garnish with additional sliced bananas brushed with lemon juice.
