The banana has always gone famously with bananas with flavors and since our family is a big fan of that famous cookie flavor, this was a winner pie right out of the gate!
The pie crust is a buttery crunch, the pudding is smooth as silk and then a few more cookies crushed on top make this a gourmet delight.
If you're a fan and love easy pies to make that are homemade then try this pie, if not then use your favorite instant brand pudding and make this one semi homemade.
Nutter Butter cookies usually are gone the first day I buy them however I have also managed to make a Nutter Butter ice cream with them that I snuck a few in from time to time in the summer!
We prefer a whipped cream that is sweetened to top our pie but again tailor this with a whipped topping if you're in a hurry but this pie and flavors is off the charts delicious.
