Banana Cream Pie with Pretzel Crust Recipe
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine flour, pretzels, salt and butter until texture is crumbly. (Mixing with a fork works best).
  • Add water, mix well.
  • Dust a flat working surface with flour.
  • Roll out crust on surface with a rolling pin until you have a nice, even crust (approximately 12 inch diameter)

  • Mix pudding and milk until thickened.
  • Pour over bananas.
  • Layer with another sliced banana.
  • Top with 3 cups of non dairy whipped topping.
