Not only is her recipe for Dulce de Leche Banana Cream Pie EASY to follow, but the result is amazing. My only wish is that I had not tried to save time by purchasing a ready made graham cracker pie crust. Not only do I not like the taste of them (well, at least not as much as I do homemade), but this pie is MILE HIGH. And that wimpy little store bought pie crust couldn’t handle all the filling. So I am writing the recipe below using a homemade pie crust (like I use in my no bake cheesecake recipe).
Thank you Carrian for a delicious pie recipe that will be making appearances regularly on our dessert table!

I’ve been looking for a dulce de leche cream pie recipe, but I’ll be back one seem to have the banana layer. Would it be okay to do this recipe without the banana layer?
Sure!
This pie rose to the top of my family’s favorites after one try. It is relatively easy. I had 2 cans of dulce de leche that I needed to use. I will definitely be using the 2nd one to make this pie again in a few weeks or so. I made the dulce by boiling condensed milk which is cheaper and easier for me. (Said to explode so use caution)
I did make 1 change to the recipe. I don’t know if it is regional, but I have never understood why banana pudding is often made with bananas in vanilla pudding. I love Jell-o brand banana cream pudding so I used that instead of vanilla. Using only 1 cup of milk is genius since it allows the pudding to help the pie to set perfectly.
The fact that it uses 1/2 of the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, and Cool Whip means I have the second half ready for a second pie a few weeks later. Given how much we love it, that is very convenient!
I was to lazy to decorate mine – esp as I knew I would have leftovers that would turn brown. This pie comes out of the pan perfectly – right from the 1st slice. Simply amazing! Thanks so much for a fabulous recipe.
Just made this for a family gathering! It was a huge hit! It was a breeze to put together and
was
so rich and creamy. I would highly recommend making homemade crust ,using extra creamy cool whip and dipping bananas in fruit juice/sprite to prevent browning. A little banana flavoring could maybe be added to filling for more banana flavor. Delicious! So happy to have another recipe to use dulce de leche. if you have never tried you are really missing out!
What is dulcet de Leche where do u buy it?soon want to make this looks delish
It is like a Carmel sauce. Very tasty.
That looks awesome
Do you mean prepared boxed cool whip? Not the frozen one?
For the whipped cream? You can use homemade, or Cool Whip (thawed). I’ve never used a boxed cool whip
Do you bake the crust?
Oh my! I love anything banana!! Throw in the dulce de leche and I’m a gonner. This is simple enough to prep which is perfect for my laziness today, lol. Thanks for the share 😉
Duhhhh. It’s the Dulce de leche.
