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. It is perfect for summer and I also love to make it for the holidays. Yes, that’s right 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.
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.
What do you need to make this recipe?
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, and 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:
1/3 cup regular margarine or butter (melted)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 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
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp 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.
- Refigerate the pie for two to three hours before serving.
