Banana Cream Pie

Yum! Britt was here for a few days and her favorite is banana pudding, so we made a pie! It was easy and very good.

~Recipe~
1 cup cold m ilk
1 package instant vanilla pudding
1/2 tsp vanilla extract(I used a bit more)
1 carton cool whip
1 graham cracker crust(You can use vanilla wafer or a regular crust as well)
3 medium firm bananas, sliced
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 heaping tsp powdered sugar
additional bananas and chocolate for garnish if you choose

In a large bowl beat the milk and pudding mixture on low speed for 2 minutes, beat in vanilla.  Fold in Cool Whip.  Pour 1 1/3 cups of the pudding mix into a pie crust.  Layer with the bananas and the the rest of the pudding.  Whip the cream and powdered sugar until thick and fluffy. Spread on top of the pie.  Garnish with additional banana and chocolate.  Refrigerate until serving.  Best the day it is made! Enjoy~
