As a child I did not like pie. Like, at all. At Thanksgiving I would dish myself up a bowl of ice cream while everyone else ate pie. Well, my husband wasn’t too happy about me not liking pie so much. I finally came around to being willing to make him pie and then found that I actually liked it.
Making a pie is a process, but boy it is worth it. If you do want to cheat you can always buy a pre-made crust, but anything made from scratch is gonna be better. This flaky crust is the perfect shell for the silky cream filling.
The filling for this pie is simple to make and contrary to what I thought, has no mashed up banana in the filling. There are only about 3 bananas used in the whole pie. There is a layer of banana slices right on top of the crust with the filling on top and then sliced bananas on top of the pie for decoration. The filling is a sweet vanilla flavor and is as smooth as silk. Divine!
This Banana Cream Pie is sweet yet also refreshing since it’s served cold. It’s great for the summer but I’ll take it any time of year. Plus, all of the ingredients are simple so it’s a pretty inexpensive dessert to make for a dinner party too. Enjoy!
