What is Banana Cream Pie
Banana cream pie, like most cream pies, is a pie that has has a rich custard made from either instant pudding or from pudding made from scratch. Heavy cream is whipped together with sugar and then added to the pudding mix. When it comes together it gives a light and fluffy texture that is matched perfectly with the bananas. Some banana cream pies feature a cool whip or whipped cream topping. I use the same whipped cream that I make for the filling. It is the perfect combination and done in no time.

A simple dessert can make entertaining much easier. I can make it ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator or I can make it right before my guests show up.
