Ingredients

  • 1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 1/3 cup instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1/4 cup English toffee bits or almond brickle chips
  • 1 small ripe banana, sliced
  • 3/4 cup whipped topping

Directions

  • Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
  • In a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Sprinkle toffee bits over crust; layer with banana and pudding. Spread with whipped topping. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Yield: 4 servings.

    Editor's Note: We do not recommend substituting sugar-free pudding mix in this recipe.

Tip

Banana Basics

Look for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.

Sweet White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a sweet white wine such as Moscato or a sweet Riesling.
