Double Layer Banana Cream Pie

I had all these ingredients on hand and needed a dessert for my daughter and her friend who were planning a girl's evening together.

My daughter's all time favorite dessert is banana cream pie.  I have made it so many different ways but never like this before....using both a traditional crust and vanilla wafers together.  So many desserts are being combined lately like the cookie-brownie, so I wanted to join in on the trend.

DOUBLE LAYER BANANA CREAM PIE

1 prepared pie crust or homemade (I used pre-made)

2 1/2 cups  cold milk
1 pkg. (large box) Jello-O Banana Flavor Instant Pudding

20 vanilla wafers

2 bananas, sliced

1 tub  Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed

• Bake pie crust until golden brown, cool.
• Prepare pudding mix according to box directions.
• Add 1 sliced bananas and  10 wafers to bottom of pie crust.
• Spread half of pudding over bananas and wafers.
• Add the second sliced banana and the last 10 wafers over pudding.
• In a small bowl, mix 1/2 the Cool Whip with the other 1/2 of  pudding, then spread over second layer of sliced bananas and wafers.
• Spread remaining Cool Whip over pudding mixture.
• Refrigerate for 2 hours.

~~optional~~ crush about 5-6 wafers and sprinkle on top with a few slices of bananas

Creamy deliciousness !!
