When I think of Easter brunch, I think of a table decorated with spring flowers and Easter eggs, lined with hearty salads, rolls, glazed ham, and desserts galore.

Dishes that aren’t necessarily fancy, but are inviting and abundant.

Dishes your grandmas might make.

Most classic brunch buffet items are make-aheads.

Grandma knew she’d be too busy Easter morning, going to church in her Easter bonnet and hiding eggs in the tall grass, to do a lot of cooking. So she planned several days in advance with pasta salads and casseroles.

And she made desserts that could sit in the fridge for a few days and were all the better for it.

Like a Banana Cream Pie Recipe, for instance.

Banana Cream Pie might be the easiest of all the cream pie varieties and it’s so amazing.

Crumbly graham cracker crust loaded with fresh banana chunks, creamy filling, a mountain of whipped cream and more bananas.

And toasted coconut on top, just because.

Today’s banana cream pie recipe is super fluffy. The light-as-a-cloud filling is a blend of cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla pudding, then folded with fresh whipped cream.

The fluffy texture holds the pie components together, slices exceptionally well, and provides a nice contrast to the dense banana chunks and crust.

Plus it’s sweetened with rich silky sweetened condensed milk, so you know it’s got to be good!

I made the graham cracker crust from scratch. Although you could always buy a pre-made crust, homemade graham crackers crusts are thicker and slightly more crumbly, giving the banana cream pie recipe even more nostalgic appeal.

Incredible Banana Cream Pie

This classic banana cream pie recipe is my favorite dessert for Easter brunch.

You’ve got to try it!

This looks great! I bet it would be awesome with some chocolate thrown in at some point! I wonder if a layer of ganache would work in between the crust and the bananas?

Made the pie last sunday. It was a hit. Thanks for the recipe ! I will be back for more .
Janine — posted April 21, 2013 at 5:43 pm

This pie is very rich and delicious, however, next time I will add banana flavoring and more bananas to heighten the flavor. Also, the crust tasted very good, but was too moist for our liking. Next time, I will go with the traditional graham cracker crust.
- Janine — posted April 21, 2013 at 5:44 pm
  
  Oh, and will use banana pudding mix instead of vanilla.
Amy — posted April 28, 2013 at 7:01 pm

Pie is amazing but I over baked the crust. How do you know when to take the crust out?

Do we have to use the California milk and cream cheese? Or can it be just regular 2% milk and cream cheese? Looks like a lovely pie though!

  Hi Emily, I used “California” dairy products because I love their commitment to excellence. Use whatever dairy brand you prefer. :)

I had a question. Do you make the pudding according to the boxed directions?
- Sommer — posted September 19, 2013 at 10:20 pm
  
  No, because you are using less milk.
Mari — posted August 6, 2013 at 12:30 pm

I have a question. Can I use cool whip instead? Is it the same as heavy cream? If it’s not, what are the brands for heavy cream? Sorry, I got confused on that part. Please answer ASAP! Thank you! c;
- Sommer — posted September 19, 2013 at 10:19 pm
  
  Hi Mari,
  
  Sorry for the late response!! I think you could sub cool whip. It’s not the same as real whipped cream but could serve the same purpose. :)

How many days can I make this ahead of time? Do you assemble it all before, or just leave whip cream, bananas and coconut till just before serving?
- Sommer — posted October 14, 2013 at 3:24 pm
  
  Hi Brittney, You can make this pie up to 3-4 days ahead. I would top it with the fresh bananas right before serving though. Let me know how it goes!

I made a practice pie a week ago because I am not a baker at all. It was very good but the filling was a bit runny and the cream cheese didn’t mix very well. The second time I made it I heated the cream cheese for a few seconds and mixed it with the hand mixer a bit longer and it turned out perfect. Great recipe!

could i add coconut to the filling? and about how much would be a good amount to use? also does it have to be California cream cheese or can i use any kind?
- Sommer — posted December 5, 2013 at 7:28 pm
  
  Hi Amberlyn, You could add coconut to the filling, but it won’t have that creamy-smooth texture. And yes, use any kind of cream cheese you like!

YES!!! My favorite pies ever are from Market Street Cafe in Celebration, FL and they make them exactly like this!! Banana cream and coconut cream. I could not find a recipe like it until now… I am forever grateful. <3

I made this for my boyfriend’s son for Thanksgiving because it is his favorite. It was completely runny and did not get at all! I threw it all away. I’ve noticed others had the same problem. Because it uses pudding, doesn’t the pudding have to be boiled then cooled in order to gel??
- Sommer — posted December 11, 2013 at 7:46 am
  
  Hi Diane! So sorry that happened. As mentioned in the recipe, it must be instant pudding so that it sets right away.
