- 1/3-1/2 cup powdered sweetener*
- 1/4 tsp salt

For the Keto Banana Pudding
- 2 packages of Simply Desserts Banana Pudding Mix
- 2 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 4 oz cream cheese**
- 1/4-1/3 cup sweetener*
- 1 cup heavy cream
Optional Whipped Topping:

- 1/4-1/2 cup allulose
Instructions
For the Vanilla Wafer Crust
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (almond flour, sweetener, and salt)
- Add the vanilla extract and mix everything together (if will be very clumpy!)
- Add the butter and mix, using your hands, until everything comes together (alternatively, you could use a food processor and pulse until dough forms)
- Place the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and grease a 8-9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
- Remove dough from fridge and press dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake the crust. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the crust just begins to brown. (tip - if the edges are browning too quickly, loosely cover the pie crust with aluminum foil)
- Remove from the oven and allow the crust to fully cool.
Make the Keto Banana Pudding:
- Using a handheld mixer, beat the pudding mix with the almond milk for 3 minutes. Set the bowl to the side.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sweetener until light and fluffy. Add the cream cheese to the banana pudding bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
- Using the now-empty cream cheese bowl (no need to wash it first!), add the heavy cream and sweetener and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the banana pudding mixture. Taste and add any additional sweetener to suit your taste.
- Spread the mixture into the cooled crust and place in the fridge to firm for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Optional Whipped Topping:
- In a cold bowl, whip cold heavy cream and sweetener until stiff peaks form. Spread over pie after it has firmed in the fridge. (nutritional information does not include topping)
Notes
- *adjust to suit your taste
- **for a firmer pie, use 8 oz of cream cheese
- Since this pie does not slice very cleanly, you can always make it in an 8 inch square baking dish instead and spooning the banana cream pie onto plates.
- I do not suggest using allulose in the pie crust as the crust will brown too quickly
- Nutritional information will vary depending on which pudding mixture you use
