Gluten-Free Banana Black Bottom Pie

This gluten-free banana black bottom pie is rich, decadent and oh so delicious! This is one special treat that everyone will love. This gluten-free banana black bottom pie is literally one of my favorite desserts ever! My mom used to make it for us on special occasions and truly, nothing compares.

Gluten-free banana black bottom pie is a crowd favorite. Between the rich chocolate cookie crumb crust and the smooth and creamy homemade pudding, you are going to swoon with each and every bite. Of course, the fluffy whipped cream, chocolate shavings and fresh strawberries lend another depth of flavor that you just can’t get enough of.
Not only is this dessert delicious, it is also really beautiful to serve up to guests at your next gathering. As a whole it looks pretty on your favorite cake stand but each individual slice also looks gorgeous as well with the many layers.

Years ago, my family and I used to enjoy a tasty black bottom pie from one of our favorite local restaurants, Snake Creek Grill in Utah. After going gluten-free both my mom and I missed this dessert so much. We just couldn’t handle not ever having it again.

Thank goodness for me, my mom created this delectable gluten-free black bottom pie rendition. It certainly ends up being much cheaper than the $7 a slice we used to pay for it which is a plus. This is definitely a dessert we all ask for often. Be sure to snag your copy of Gluten-Free on a Budget that my mom and I published and is full of over 100 delicious gluten-free recipes.
