Banana Cream Pie is a dreamy dessert, with a delicious banana custard, buttery crust, and sweet whipped topping.
This Old-Fashioned Banana Cream Pie is a family favorite, and one of my hubby’s favorite Father’s day desserts the other one is my Chocolate Cream Pie Recipe.
The hardest part about making this pie is waiting for it to chill. Everybody always wants to dig right in, so most of the time they settle for licking the custard pan like with my Homemade Banana Pudding. I’m so glad I got to share this recipe with you today, I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine does.

Tips For Making Banana Cream Pie
• Heat the custard on medium-low. Patience is a must for this part. You don’t want to turn it up to high or it will quickly scald.
• Bananas should be ripe but not overly ripe. If they’re too ripe, it just affects how long you can store the pie.
• You can toss the banana in a little fruit fresh prior to placing them in the pie to slow down the browning process.
• If you would like to make your pie crust from scratch this Buttery Flaky Pie Crust is fantastic!
• lazy and had a couple of Marie Callander’s Pie Crusts in my freezer.
• A graham cracker crust is also delicious.
• Chill for at least 4 hours.
• Making your own whipped cream is delicious, but Cool Whip works just fine.
• I like to sprinkle chopped almonds on top. Shredded Coconut is also a delicious option.
