Banana Cream Pie
I don't remember if my Mom made banana cream pie but I'm pretty sure in all of her years of cooking she probably made a banana cream pie. I have always made this pie and over the years it has evolved into this delicious version. I always hate to see banana's go to waste so if I don't have time to make something with the bananas I will pop them into the freezer and save for a day when I do have time to bake. One of my favorite things to do! I hope you enjoy this recipe and please don't be afraid to put your own spin on it, such as a whipped cream top or chocolate shavings or why not try coconut sprinkled on the meringue.
