This pie has everything but the kitchen sink. Plus, it is a no-bake recipe!

When this recipe said it had it all I had no idea that this was a mile high pie that piled onto a homemade graham cracker crust. I mean how can you possible go wrong with that?

Because this pie is so rich you can serve in smaller slices but to be honest with you, I think this will be such a hit at your next gathering you might want to go ahead and make an extra! Thankfully bananas are in season all year around no matter what part of the country so no matter what time of you you need something that will knock everyone’s socks off, you can always make this.

I love that this recipe came with the ingredients and directions on how to make your own graham cracker crust. I love being able to make my pies in my favorite glass pie dishes instead fo a flimsy foil one that the store bought crust comes in. I have almost had one of those fold in half before they are so thin..and the pie was still in it, now that would have been a disaster!
So there you go, you got this!

This is what Aimee of Shugary Sweets has to say about this recipe that she made from her fellow blogger’s new cookbook.

When I told her I would review and share one of the recipes from her book, it was so hard to choose. But of course, I had to go with a dessert. And since Banana Cream Pie is one of my favorite flavors of pie (EVER), I knew this would be the one.

Quick Tip: Not a huge caramel fan? Try using hot fudge sauce instead. Oh my gosh it will taste like those chocolate dipped bananas from the State Fair!

Celebrate the warm days of summer. Sit in the shade and savor a real fruit treat.

 

Some of my favorite memories with are kids involve being together on long summer days. School was out, and being able to sleep in a bit, stay up late enough to watch the stars overhead in hope of wishing on one as it sped across the sky, disappearing before you could even point it out to the person sitting next to you.

We loved our big lawn. Sometimes the neighbor kids would join in a game of football or hide and seek. It was a lot of mowing, but even the smell of freshly mowed grass was savory. And then there was the sprinkler.

The one that sprayed tiny streams into the air, looking more like a curtain than actual water drips. The basic sprinkler would move on simple gears to the setting we had put it on. But, in our minds, it was always trying to tag us with its watery fingers. There were the times where the kids would squeal with delight as they ran and jumped to the other side.

Bathing suits dripping wet, they would sit outside while I ran in to pull popsicles out of the freezer.

While we used to just get the basic juice popsicles, I love that these are made with real fruit.

This is what Martyna of The Wholesome Cook says about her recipe.

Healthier than their ice cream counterparts they are low in fat and have no added sugar. To spice them up a little, I have added some coconut milk and ground cinnamon.

Quick Tip: If you have a few bananas feel free to add those to your popsicle mix instead of coconut milk.
