This no bake banana breeze pie really is a breeze to make. It is light and a delicious way to use up any extra bananas you may have.
This banana breeze pie is a vintage recipe. This pie is perfect for summer and I also love to make it for the holidays. It’s a great dessert to make the night before and the lemon juice helps the bananas from browning.
This no bake banana breeze pie is also a great way to use up extra bananas. I don’t know about you, but I’m always buying bananas. It seems like we either go through a whole bunch in a few days or they sit around and start to get spotty.

Where did this recipe come from?
I’m a huge fan of vintage recipes. I actually have quite the collection of cookbooks from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. When we lived in Houston I was a regular at all the good thrift stores and I found some pretty cool stuff including all kinds of cookbooks. I can’t remember what cookbook this recipe is from but it’s a delicious recipe and so easy to make. This is a pretty popular recipe back in the day.
Ingredients needed
To make this recipe you’ll need a pre-made graham cracker crust (or you can make a corn flake cereal crust, I’ll include instructions below):
- Cream cheese
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Lemon juice
- Bananas
- Vanilla extract
Graham cracker or corn flake crust?
Originally, this vintage recipe used crush corn flakes as a crust but I’ve found it easier to just use a pre-made graham cracker crust. If you want to make the original corn flake crust, the recipe is as follows:
⅓ cup regular margarine or butter (melted)
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 cup corn flake cereal (such as Kellogs)
Crush 1 cup of corn flakes either by using your hands in a plastic stroage bag or by running them through a food processor. Combine melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon and stir well. Pour over the crushed corn flake cereal in a 9-inch pie pan. Use your hands to make the crust even and then let chill.

No Bake Banana Breeze Pie
Ingredients
- 5 bananas
- 1 package cream cheese about 8 ounces, softened
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk) about 14 ounces
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh or bottled
- 1 premade graham cracker pie crust
Instructions
- Begin by slicing three of your bananas and lining your graham cracker crust with them.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, one tablespoon of lemon juice, and cream cheese together.
- Pour the mixture over the pie crust and bananas.
- Slice the remaining bananas and brush the top of them with the remaining one tablespoon of lemon juice. The lemon juice will prevent the bananas from browning.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least three hours before serving.
