Banana-Pineapple Vanilla Pudding Pie

My favorite dessert recipe. Pulled original recipe from one of those homemade cookbooks put together by my company years ago. Don't remember the original as I make it from memory now, but get so many compliments every time I make it. Warning: will satisfy that sweet tooth!

Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 large banana, sliced
• 1 (10 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix (such as Jell-O®)
• ½ (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
• 1 tablespoon sliced almonds, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine cream cheese and sugar in a bowl and mix together with a hand blender. Gently spread mixture on bottom of pie crust. Layer cream cheese mixture with drained pineapple and spread banana slices over top.

Step 2

Combine milk and pudding mix in a bowl; blend until smooth. Gently fold in frozen whipped topping; don't overmix of whipped topping will start to melt and become difficult to work with. Spread whipped topping-pudding mixture on top of bananas and sprinkle almonds on top for garnish.

Step 3

Place in the refrigerator until set, at least 2 to 3 hours.
