Banana Cream Pie Recipe
Banana Cream Pie Recipe
"This banana cream pie recipe is a no-bake homemade pie that is rich, silky, and indulgent, yet so light and dreamy. You can make your own pie crust dough if you have time. Pie crust can be made ahead of time. You can store it in the refrigerator for 5 days or in the freezer for a month or two. You can make the filling 1 day ahead of time as well. Make sure you place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the warm pudding before storing it in the refrigerator. As an alternate topping, you can make a meringue to top the pie using the 3 egg whites. "
Notesyou can drizzle this with a good chocolate ganache and chopped walnuts.
