Ingredients

Crust:

1¾ cup graham cracker crumbs

¼ cup sugar

½ cup melted butter

Filling:

1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed

1 (3 ounce) package instant banana pudding (or vanilla works, too)

1 cup sour cream

3 bananas, sliced and sprinkled with Fruit Fresh to prevent browning

Topping:

¼ cup white sugar

½ cup coarsely chopped pecans

Directions

For the topping, stir ¼ cup of sugar together with the pecans in a skillet over medium heat.

Continue stirring gently until sugar has melted and the pecans have caramelized to a nice light brown (do not overcook or the sugar will burn and the flavor will be unpleasant).

Carefully transfer nuts onto a cutting board to cool, spreading them out to a single layer so they don't cool in "clumps".

Note: do not try to cool them on waxed paper - I did this the first time and they melted right into the waxed paper and I ended up with waxed paper coated pecans!

Allow nuts to cool completely - you can then gently break up any large clumps of nuts that may have stuck together in the cooling process.

For the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs with sugar, and then add melted butter until well moistened.

Press into bottom of 10 inch deep dish pie plate.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.

Cool crust completely.

For filling, combine thawed Cool Whip, pudding, and sour cream with a wire whisk.

Place half of the filling mixture in the bottom of the cooled crust.

Cover filling layer with sliced bananas.

Spread the rest of the filling mixture on top of the bananas.

Cover well and keep refrigerated.

At serving, sprinkle each slice with some of the caramelized pecans.

Krum!!! I told my mom that I was making a drunken pumpkin pie one year for Thanksgiving and I didn't have parchment paper for the blind baking of the crust....I used wax paper and the wax melted into my crust and I didn't notice until we tried to cut the cooled pie and the filling slid off the crust. I died of embarassment, right in front of Mema, Nana and all the great cooks before me, my pie crust was a teflon surface! LOL, I'd forgotten all about that til I read your warning. Love bananas and this looks great for the next pot luck I'm going too, mind you, I keep lots of parchment in my kitchen these days.
