Banana Cream Pie Recipe
Making homemade banana cream pie from scratch is worth the effort. I like to break the recipe into three parts; flaky crust, custard filling, and whipped cream to make each task more straightforward. I usually make the pie dough a day in advance so that you can just roll and shape it the next day.
The luscious vanilla pudding can be a little tricky, but don’t worry. I’ll guide you to prevent the delicate eggs from curdling with tips guaranteeing a smooth and sliceable filling. Adding a blanket of fresh bananas over the crust produces bursts of sweet fruit flavors. Generously covering the filling with a mound of cream provides a pleasant surprise underneath.
