Blueberry Banana Cream Pie

 This Blueberry Banana Cream Pie has been a staple in our home since I can remember. It's simple, yet delicious and a perfect addition to your holiday baking!!

And, when I say holiday baking.. I mean, the only thing that needs to be baked here is the crust! Need a pie crust recipe? Check out my recipe HERE. It's perfect for this pie!!


WHAT YOU NEED: (recipe makes 2 pies)

  • 2 baked pie shells
  • 3 bananas, sliced 1/4" slices
  • 1 banana, mashed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup cold milk, divided
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 packet Dream Whip topping mix
  • 2 cups blueberry compote (or blueberry pie filling)

HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY BANANA CREAM PIE

1. Bake your pie crusts (blind bake) and allow to cool completely. 
2. Take your sliced bananas and line the bottom of the pie shells in a single layer.
3. In a mixing bowl, cream together your cream cheese, 1/4 cup milk and sugar. Once light and creamy, fold in your mashed bananas. Set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, add in your Dream Whip packet, 1/2 cup milk and vanilla. Beat with mixer on low speed until thoroughly blended. Turn your speed up to high and beat for 4 minutes, or until soft peaks form.
5. Fold your Dream Whip topping into your cream cheese mixture until blended together.
6. Put your cream mixture into your pie shells. Half for each shell. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
7. Top with your blueberry compote, or pie filling. Keep refrigerated.
8. Serve cold.


TIPS:
-you can make blueberry compote easily with fresh or frozen blueberries, but if you are in a hurry, canned pie filling works great!

-substitute in another fruit topping if you have non-blueberry fans (who even are you?!? 😜)

-if you only need one pie, you can freeze the filling! Use half and save the rest in the freezer for another time!
