Strawberries paired with bananas equals an AMAZING flavor combination! That’s why every smoothie place I’ve ever been to has a strawberry banana smoothie on the menu. I think it has something to do with the banana’s sweet & smooth texture contrasted with the strawberry’s tartness & fresh burst of flavor! 💗

Strawberry Banana Cream Pie

YIELDS 8-10 SERVINGS
PREP TIME: 30 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 10 MINUTES
CHILL TIME: 2 ½ HOURS

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust:

Vegetable oil spray

1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers (1 sleeve about 32 squares)

⅓ cup granulated sugar

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

⅛ teaspoon coarse kosher salt

 

Pie Filling:

2-3 bananas, sliced

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

1 cup granulated sugar

13 ounces strawberry preserves, such as Bonne Maman

2 cups fresh strawberries, diced

1 tablespoon cornstarch

 

Whipped Cream Topping:

1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Pinch of coarse kosher salt

 

Garnishes:

Fresh strawberries, halved

Banana slices

Instructions

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9-inch pie dish with vegetable oil.
  • Mix together the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and salt until combined. Stir in the melted butter until well blended.
  • Pour into the pie dish. Use a metal measuring cup with straight sides to evenly press it into the pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Set aside & let cool.

 

Pie Filling:

  • Heat up the strawberry preserves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Heat until the preserves start to break down and the sauce develops a thinner, pourable consistency.
  • Add the fresh strawberries that have been cut into quarters to the saucepan. Stir over heat for 30-60 seconds, turn the heat off.
  • Stir in the cornstarch.
  • Pour the strawberry compote into a heat & freezer proof bowl or container. Place in the freezer to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, line the bottom of the crust with a single layer of banana slices.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy. Slowly add the sugar 1/3 cup at a time. Mix until combined.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the banana slices in an even layer.
  • Pour the strawberry compote over the cream cheese mixture and smooth with a knife.

 

Whipped Cream Topping:

*Wait to make the whipped cream topping until 30 minutes before serving.

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the cold heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Whisk together on high speed until soft peaks form when you lift the whisk attachment out of the bowl.
  • Spread the whipped cream on top of the cooled pie. Leave a 1/2 inch rim around the crust, so the pie filling will show.
  • Garnish with banana slices & halved strawberries.

Notes

This pie is best served the same day that it’s made. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
