I have seen various renditions of this pie here on Cookpad and on the internet. I don’t know who officially created it, but I want to thank those before me for paving the way for me. As always, feel free to add your own flair to the pie to make it your own. I just thought about pan frying the bananas as I was writing this... maybe next time. Anyway, its a nice focal dessert for holiday occasions... or just to pig out for no special occasion.

Steps

1 Hour

1

Preheat oven to 400 F. Pulverize roughly half the box of vanilla wafers in a food processor along with melted butter. Place in 9x13 (I think that was the size) baking pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to gently but firmly pack it evenly. Bake until golden. 12-15 minutes.
2

Empty the three boxes of pudding into a bowl. Add in three cups of milk and whisk. Stop once mixture thickens. Cover and place in refrigerator.
3

As the pudding is chilling, place the block of creme cheese (preferably softened) into a mixing bowl. Cream together along with the 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and honey.
4

Take the pudding out of the fridge and introduce it to the cream cheese mixture. Fold it in nicely.
5

Whip heavy whipping cream along with nutmeg and powdered sugar until it becomes stiff. Add in the lemon extract. Whip again until stiff. Fold in roughly half of the whipped cream into the pudding and cream cheese mixture.
6

Begin to layer the pie. Starting with pudding on the bottom.
7

The very top should end with whipped cream. Strategically place Chessmen cookies and vanilla wafers. Chill for a few hours before serving.

Of course, the second attempt was even more successful. They even had seasonal prints on them which were good for Easter Sunday, opposed to the signature chess piece characters.
