Whenever I make this creamy banana pie topped with a thick strawberry sauce, everyone looks forward to dessert, shares Zahra Sulemanji of Houston, Texas. The recipe was passed on to me by my mother-in-law. Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 to 3 medium) |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed |
1 graham cracker crust (9 inches) |
strawberry topping: |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
1-1/4 cups sliced fresh strawberries |
5 drops red food coloring, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Combine bananas and lemon juice; stir into cream cheese mixture. Fold in whipped topping. Pour into crust. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
2. In a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in strawberries and food coloring if desired. Let stand for 5 minutes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool. Drizzle some over pie. Cut into wedges; serve with remaining topping. Yield: 6-8 servings.
