Banana Cream Pie

Well last week was a bad week; I got sick.  I still made the pie last weekend but I did not post about it so this week I will do two pies. 

The first is a cream cheese pineapple pie from my taste of home Best Loved Pies.  This pie was very easy to make.  I was hoping for more of a cheesecake type pie but it turned out to be more of a custard/flan type texture.  I was not really impressed with the pie but my co-workers liked it.  Here is a picture of the finished pie.  By the way Jason would not even taste it because of the pecans!

Now on to this weeks pie!  This is a take on a banana cream pie.  I am still not feeling 100% but I wanted to be sure to make the pie this week.  I decided to use an oreo crust I already had in the cupboard.  I sliced bananas and lined the bottom of the crust.  I made up a package of instant vanilla pudding and mixed about 1 cup of cool whip into it.  I poured half the pudding mixture into the crust then a layer of banana slices.  I topped it off with the rest of the pudding and added a layer of coolwhip on top.  I will let you know the results of the pie later.
Here is a pic of the finished pie.

Not the prettiest pie but I bet it will taste great.

Next week I will be making a lemon tart!
