Cookie Topped Banana Cream Pie Recipes

BANANA CREAM PIE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugars and butter, until well mixed, and light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
• Add in eggs, vanilla, and mix until just combined.
• Add in the flour, pudding mix, salt and baking soda. Stir in completely until you have a nice soft dough.
• Fold the graham cracker pieces and white chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
• Scoop the cookie dough into 2 Tablespoon sized scoops, and roll them into smooth balls.
• Place about 8 cookie balls, on to each prepared baking sheet. Place them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes until lightly golden on the sides, and the tops are just barely set. They might not look all the way done.
• Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for about 8 minutes on the cookie sheet, as they'll keep cooking as they are there. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST BANANA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter and sugar together in a saucepan over medium heat. Gradually add cookie crumbs and stir to combine well. Press crumb mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake crust 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely.
• For filling:
• Heat the milk over medium heat until warmed, but not boiling. Beat the yolks in a large bowl. Slowly whisk the warm milk into the yolks and add the vanilla. Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in heavy medium saucepan. Over medium heat, gradually whisk in the egg, milk, and vanilla mixture to the dry ingredients until custard thickens and you can see the tracks from the whisk in the bottom of the pan, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer custard to large bowl and fold in bananas; cover bowl with plastic wrap and cool custard completely in refrigerator, about 1 1/2 hours.
• When custard has chilled, make topping by whipping cream with sugar and vanilla in a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Fold in most of the remaining chocolate cookie crumbs, reserving a few for garnish.
• Stir custard to loosen, if necessary. Spread over bottom of prepared crust. Top with whipped cream mixture. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Scatter remaining chocolate crumbs over top just before serving.
