How to Make Banana Cream Pie

In a large mixing bowl, add banana pudding mix and milk. Whisk vigorously until it becomes thick. This will take about 2 minutes.
Step 5:
Fold in 2 cups of whipped cream to the bowl.
Step 6:
Get the cooled crust, and cover the bottom with banana slices.
Step 7:
Transfer the pudding and whipped cream mixture over the banana slices. Spread evenly. Place in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 3 hours.
Step 8:
Add 1 cup of whipped cream mixture on top and spread it evenly. Decorate the pie with the remaining banana slices.
Step 9:
Slice it, transfer it to a plate, drizzle caramel sauce on top if preferred, and serve. Enjoy.
