A good banana cream pie is the type of dessert that can make any meal feel like a special occasion, with a thick creamy center full of banana goodness, surrounded by a luxurious custard there’s a reason why banana cream pie has been considered a classic dessert for so long. Most people think of banana cream pies as a classic diner dessert, slowly spinning around in a chilled glass case. With its multiple layers and custard filling the idea of making a banana cream pie from scratch can make it feel like you’re unearthing a relic from another era. Something that can be intimidating for some home cooks who get turned off by how complicated the pie looks from the outside. While it is true that making a truly great banana cream pie does take a little time and some skill, that’s ok, desserts this good should take a little work, otherwise, we might eat them every day, and what’s the fun in only making things a monkey could do in five minutes. The best banana cream pies have a velvety texture and are filled with the soft mellow flavor of bananas which is why this homemade banana cream pie recipe uses a little butter and an extra banana to take the custard up a notch. It also has a graham cracker crust that compliments that filling with a sweet crunch in every bite. The easiest way to make a banana cream pie is to build it from the bottom up. If you start with the crust, followed by the custard, and save the whipped cream until it’s time to assemble the pie it’s easy to keep track of what needs to be done and there’s very little downtime.
