Easter Pie Idea

Hi hungry busy ladies!

Well, Easter is JUST around the corner, and you’ve just remembered you thought it would be cute to volunteer to MAKE a pie. Whoops!  That was dumb.  Now you’re stuck with the obligation of not only bringing a baked good but also a HOMEMADE baked good. Not only that but you’ll probably put it off until about an hour before you’re supposed to leave for this Easter gathering.  Not to fret, ladies! I have a pie recipe thought up by YOURS truly, just for such an occasion.  I give you, Katie’s Super Easy Banana Cream Pie. The best part is, you don’t even have to learn how to turn on your oven for this one. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Betty Crocker!

Here’s what you’ll need:

•One banana (lets be honest, if you buy more than that, they’ll just sit on your counter and turn black)

•Banana Instant Pudding (Actually, I’m using vanilla pre-packaged, pre-made snack packs of pudding, because there’s nothing “instant” about the other stuff and they only make vanilla or chocolate in pre-made snack packs)

•One pre-made graham cracker pie crust

•Whipped cream in a can 

Step 1. Take the cover off of your pie crust. Yes, that is plastic covering the crust, its not a shiny crust. If you do not do this, people will learn that you didn’t make this crust when they try to first cut it. Learn from my mistakes!

Step 2.  Remove lids and squeeze the pudding from the pudding snack cups onto the pie crust. You can use a spoon if you want, but then guess what? Another dish to sit in your sink for three weeks. I used about 4 pudding snack cups for this, but you can use more or less depending on whats laying around after you ate a couple for dinner last night because they were the only things you had in the fridge besides expired condiments.

Step 3. Cut up that banana over the pie. Don’t get a cutting board, unless you want something ELSE to wash in addition to that spoon! Eco-friendly tip – bananas are soft, so you can use pretty much anything around the house to cut them up (lets be honest, your one butter knife is rusty)! I used a plastic knife that I also used to stir my Bloody Mary last week…and its not even Earth Day yet! If we all do a little, we can do a lot. 😉

Step 4. Take a spoon (fine, I guess you have to wash a dish now) and stir around the pudding and the bananas so they’re evenly spread around the pie. Whoops!  You accidentally stirred too hard and smashed the pie crust. Oh no! It’s stirred into the pie! Your perfect pie is RUINED!  Panic!

Step 5. WAIT, stop panicking. Remember, you’ve got whipped cream to cover that shit up! WHEW.  Grab your whipped cream.  It might be expired like mine, but I’m pretty sure those expiration dates are just a suggestion. Its not organic or anything, so its probably pumped full of more chemicals than a dead guy fresh out of the funeral home, to keep it preserved for years to come. 

Step 6. Spray the whipped cream on the pie.  Mine came out a little runny, probably because it’s low fat whipped cream. Oh well, it’s cream and thats what’s in the title, so thats what’s ultimately important.

Step 7. Cover it in some Saran wrap you have from some other leftovers that are definitely too old to eat and high-tail it to your Easter party.

Step 8. Serve up your pie with a smile, knowing that everyone expected you to bring a store-bought pie. You can proudly say without lying on the day of our Risen Lord “Oh that ol’ thing? I just whipped it up in my kitchen!”

Helpful Hint! If anyone says that your pie doesn’t look right or looks messy, tell that bitch that it’s all going to the same place anyways and to shut her fucking mouth. 

Happy Easter.
