Easiest dessert ever

Making quick meals is all well and good, but sometimes a body needs to enjoy a tasty dessert too. You never know when you may be in need of some dessert item, maybe you are asked to bring a desert to a party, or perhaps you want to impress a date, or even surprise your mate. This one is sweet and even a little bit good for you!

Some things to remember about this dessert, are these, you need to work fast, because if you let bananas out in the air for more than a few minutes, they begin to turn brown. They oxidize so quickly, it is a good idea to get everything else ready first then handle the 'nanners last and fast! You can use either chocolate or vanilla pudding, it's a matter of taste. I like the chocolate variety, and for a real treat try the new dark chocolate variety, really tasty!

Ingredients:

1 Pkg Instant Pudding
2 Cups milk ( your favorite, the difference is in the nutrition)
2 ripe bananas
1 8" prepared graham cracker pie crust

Directions:

Prepare pudding and Pie crust according to label directions.

Slice one banana into the bottom of the pie crust and pour pudding over the layer, JUST enough to cover the layer, then slice the second banana onto the pudding layer. Pour remainder of pudding over this layer of banana.

cover and put in refrigerator to chill and set. ( usually 1 hour will do)

Slice and serve.

EAT IT!!

After Thoughts:

If you feel like being fancy You can garnish this desert with a few fresh raspberries.

For a real change of pace you can make a crust of from vanilla wafers instead of graham crackers.

Chocolate Graham cracker crust is also a touch of variety.

If you want to be REALLY fancy you can finish this off with a layer of whipped cream on top so you get a nice strata effect when it is served.
