Have I told you that my hubby doesn’t like chocolate? Is that insane or what?! He’ll eat ‘some’ chocolate, such as brownies, but no chocolate candies, cake, ice cream, etc. Now, a lot of people, when they hear that, say ‘that’s terrible’! Think of this, though…..the less he eats, the more I get 🙂

Anywho…it was his birthday in February, and of course I couldn’t make him a chocolaty dessert. Therefor, I had to give this yummy sounding Caramel Banana Cream Pie a try! Oh my goodness, it almost makes me give up chocolate (almost, don’t worry). It’s just bursting with smooth, creamy flavor. Love it!

2 pkg. (8 oz. each) Cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup packed Brown sugar

1 tsp. Vanilla

8 oz. Cool Whip

1/2 cup Caramel syrup

1 Graham cracker pie crust

1/2 cup Pecan pieces

2 Bananas, sliced

Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a bowl until well blended. Mix in 2 cups of the whipped cream. Set aside.

Pour 1/4 cup of the caramel topping onto the crust, spreading to cover evenly. Top with layers of 1/4 cup pecans, bananas and cream cheese mixture. Spread remaining whipped topping over top, and sprinkled with the rest of the pecans.

Refrigerate for 2 hours. Drizzle with remaining caramel topping.
