The Story:
Whipped cream is a separate food group in my family. When we have hot chocolate, it’s about an inch of hot chocolate in the mug and 4 inches of fluffy, sweet, white, heavenly goodness on top. When we have angel food cake… it turns into whipped cream and berries and people tend to forget about the cake. And when we’re at the grocery store and someone reaches for the carton of whipped cream, no one ever complains.

Click the photo below for the Crisco® Pie Crust recipe AND there’s still time to enter the Pie Pack Giveaway if you want too 🙂 In the “directions” part of the recipe you will read how to bake a pie for “cream” fillings.
But how simple is this? I made the crust a few days in advance, wrapped it and put it in the fridge, rolled it out and baked it, stirred the milk and pudding mix together and poured!
Let it chill, then top it with some whipped cream, chocolate and bananas!
I was so nervous about cutting it… but each slice came out beautifully with no special tricks!

I have been compensated for this post, all opinions are my own.
I never thought to mix the chocolate pudding and banana pudding together! We always had two layers, each the large size pudding and then a very high layer of of meringue but I love the idea of mixing them, and who can argue with whipped cream. Thanks, you always come up with great ideas!
Yeah, You can add as much pudding as you want, just make sure you add the right amount of milk to the pudding mix 🙂
Oh yum!! Can you bring me a slice to work right now??? HA!!
This looks like comfort to me! I hear you about the amount of whipped cream. I’m like that with cake and frosting too. I like some cake with lots of frosting. Usually chocolate!
Beautiful! Love the sound of this! I can’t wait to try it!
Your rolling pin is made in Canada!!! Yay!!!
The pie looks so good – will have to make this for my husband. He loves chocolate & bananas. And me. :oP
