Directions
-
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
-
In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
-
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form an even crust.
-
Set the prepared crust aside in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
-
Place the frozen nonfat yogurt or ice milk into a food processor or stand mixer.
-
Beat the yogurt on medium speed until it is smooth, creamy, and slightly softened, but still firm enough to hold its shape.
-
Using a spatula, carefully spread the chocolate yogurt mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
-
Cover the pie plate tightly with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
-
Place the pie in the freezer and allow it to firm up for approximately 2 hours.
-
When ready to serve, peel and slice the bananas.
-
Arrange the banana slices in a decorative circle or pattern over the frozen filling.
-
Top the bananas with a layer of Cool Whip or vegan whipped topping.
-
Drizzle the remaining chocolate syrup generously over the whipped topping and bananas.
-
Slice and serve immediately, or store covered in the freezer until serving.
