If you’re looking for a new kind of pie crust, you can always turn to premade cookies. Oreos always make for great crusts, but they aren’t the only cookies that do the trick. You might not have had Nilla Wafers since you were a child, but they help make a rich-tasting crust that holds your pie together. It will only take a little bit of prep and cooking to make this buttery crust, and after that, you can make whatever kind of pie you’re in the mood for. Take a look at this recipe for a Nilla Wafer pie crust.

Ingredients
CRUST¹
65 vanilla wafer cookies
3 Tablespoons brown sugar firmly packed
7 Tablespoons salted butter melted
BANANA CREAM PIE FILLING
3/4 cup granulated sugar 150g
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups milk 355ml
1 1/2 cups heavy cream 355ml
3 Tablespoons butter cut into pieces (softened)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 bananas
1/4 cup lemon or lime juice
HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM
3/4 cup heavy cream very cold (175ml)
1/4 cup powdered sugar 30g
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
CRUST
00:34 Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
00:40 Place wafer cookies in the basin of a food processor and pulse until mixture is nothing but crumbs²
00:49 Add brown sugar and pulse until combined.
00:58 Add crumbs to melted butter (in a medium/large bowl) and stir until mixture is evenly combined and crumbs are moistened.
01:11 Transfer crumbs to a 9 ½” pie plate and use the clean bottom of a measuring cup to tamp crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate to form the crust.
01:34 Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for 13 minutes. Prepare your banana cream pie filling while your pie crust cools completely.
01:45 Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium-sized, heavy duty saucepan until combined.
02:07 Add egg yolks, milk, and heavy cream and whisk until all ingredients are combined.
02:25 Place saucepan over medium heat and use a whisk to stir constantly until the mixture comes to a simmer/begins to bubble (this can take 10 minutes or so).
02:37 Once simmering, continue to whisk constantly and allow to bubble for 1 minute. Once 1 minute has passed, immediately remove from heat and add butter, 1 Tbsp at a time, whisking until melted and combined after each addition.
03:20 Whisk in vanilla extract.
03:28 Pour banana cream pie filling through a fine mesh strainer into a large heatproof bowl. Cover surface with plastic wrap (make sure the plastic wrap is covering the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming) and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
04:10 Slice 2 bananas and dip each slice in lemon or lime juice. Gently pat dry.
05:00 Once cooled, pour half of pudding mixture into your prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
05:18 Place bananas in an even layer over the first layer of pudding. Top banana slices with remaining pudding and smooth with spatula.
05:32 Cover the surface of the pie with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator. Chill at least several hours.
6:00 Once you are ready to serve (or several hour before serving), prepare whipped cream. Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl (preferably a metal bowl that you’ve chilled in the refrigerator or freezer for 10 minutes) and use an electric mixer to beat until stiff peaks form³.
06:10 Dollop or pipe⁴ whipped cream over chilled pie and slice and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
¹I like using this vanilla wafer crust to make banana cream pie, however it also tastes great when made with a graham cracker crust (bake according to instructions in recipe) or in a standard pie crust (blind-bake according to instructions).
²If you don’t have a food processor, you can crush the cookies by placing them in a large bag and thoroughly smashing them with a rolling pin or mallet until they’re reduced to crumbs.
³For detailed information and photos on making homemade whipped cream, please see my how to make whipped cream post.
⁴You can of course use any tip, but I used an Ateco 848
