A flaky, golden pie crust is the foundation of your pie. Use store-bought or homemade for that buttery, melt-in-your-mouth base everyone loves.
Whisk eggs, sugar, milk, and cornstarch on low heat for a custard that’s creamy and lump-free. Patience is key to achieve that rich, smooth texture.
Select ripe yet firm bananas for the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. Evenly layer slices over the custard for a deliciously fruity bite.
Spread the custard gently over the banana layer. Make sure it’s evenly distributed to create a pie that’s picture-perfect with every slice.
Whip up fresh cream and sugar for a fluffy, cloud-like topping. Generously spread it over the custard and bananas to crown your pie.
Refrigerate your pie for at least two hours to let the flavors meld. This step ensures your banana cream pie is firm and easy to slice.
Grandma’s apple pie tastes even better when paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, adding a creamy contrast to the warm pie.
