How To Make banana cream / pretzel crust pie

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degree F. In a large mixing bowl ( I used my food processor )- combine flour, pretzels, salt and butter until texture is crumbly. Add water, mix well.
  • Step 2
    Dust a flat working surface with flour. Roll out crust on surface with a rolling pin until you have a nice, even crust (approximately 12 inch diameter)
  • Step 3
    Fold in half and gently place in the pie plate. (The crust is fragile but pinches together nicely if it falls apart). Flute edges, poke the bottom with a fork and bake 10-12 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Cool completely.
  • Step 5
    In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, 1/2 of a sliced banana, 1 cup non dairy whipped topping.
  • Step 6
    Spread cream cheese mixture on top of cooled pretzel crust.
  • Step 7
    Slice bananas on top of cheese mixture.
  • Step 8
    Mix pudding and milk until thickened . Pour over bananas. Layer with another sliced banana Top with 3 cups of non dairy whipped topping
  • Step 9
    Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. May garnish with crushed pretzels or sliced bananas. A slice to follow, once chilled! So yummy! Enjoy!
