If you think banoffee pie is just bananas and caramel in a pie crust, you are NOT prepared for what happens when you add this ridiculously creamy Paula Deen inspired banana cream filling.

This easy banoffee pie recipe with Creamy Banana Pudding Filling starts with a buttery graham cracker crust layered with fresh bananas and thick dulce de leche that gets topped with the fluffiest banana pudding-inspired vanilla cream filling. It’s creamy, caramel-y, and one of our absolute FAVORITE pies.

And I mean favorite ever.

Classic banoffee pie is already pretty genius—bananas, toffee and whipped cream—but years ago we took things a little further and added a creamy vanilla pudding layer inspired by Paula Deen’s famous banana pudding.

Ohhhh my goodness.

You still get that unmistakable banana and dulce de leche combination, but the fluffy filling keeps the pie from feeling like you’re eating straight caramel with a fork. Although, let’s be honest, I’ve made worse decisions.

What Is Banoffee Pie?

Banoffee pie is a British dessert traditionally made with bananas, toffee and whipped cream in a crumb or pastry crust. The name “banoffee” combines “banana” and “toffee.”

Our version keeps those classic flavors but swaps the simple whipped cream topping for a banana pudding-inspired vanilla filling made with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk and whipped cream.

It’s not completely traditional, but it is creamier, fluffier and, in our opinion, even better.
