Banana Cream Pie Dump
Step 5: Bake Until Golden-Brown! ⏰🥖
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. The edges should be bubbly, and the cookie-cake topping should be a gorgeous, deep golden-brown.
- Remove from the oven. Let it cool on the counter for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to the fridge for 30 minutes to let the creamy pudding layer set up beautifully.
💡 Chef’s Pro-Tips for Success
- Mind the Dry Spots: If you notice a few small patches of dry cake mix after pouring the butter, don’t panic! The moisture from the pudding beneath will rise up and cook the cake mix. However, for the absolute best crust, try to distribute the melted butter as evenly as possible. 🧈🎨
- Serving Style: You can serve this warm right out of the oven like a cobbler, or chill it completely so it cuts into clean squares like a traditional icebox pie. Don’t forget to load the top with a mountain of whipped cream and a few extra whole Nilla Wafers right before serving! 🍦✨
