BANANA CREAM PIE BARS

These banana cream pie bars are what dreams are made of. If you love banana cream pie, you will love these, because they have all the same layers and more! Just look at all those yummy layers.

These bars are made with a Nilla Wafer cookie crust (but you could use graham crackers if you prefer). The whole dessert is no bake, all the way down to the crust. Which means you don’t have to heat up your oven at all for this one, but you still get a delicious dessert. Perfect for those hot summer days!

This dessert is really no hassle, and made in only about 15 minutes or less. The only hard part is waiting 3-4 hours while it all chills and sets in the fridge!

Banana Cream Pie Bars are a delicious no bake dessert! They start with a cookie crust, a homemade cheesecake filling, and banana pudding, all topped with a creamy whipped topping!
