Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Homemade Banana Cream Pie turns out perfectly:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
- For a richer taste, consider using whole milk instead of low-fat milk.
- Don’t skip the chilling time! It helps the pie set and enhances the flavors.
- If you want to make this pie ahead of time, prepare it a day in advance and store it in the fridge.
- For a fun twist, try adding a layer of chocolate pudding for a chocolate banana cream pie!
How to Serve
This Banana Cream Pie With Whipped Topping is best served chilled. Slice it up and serve it on its own, or pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. It’s also a delightful addition to any gathering, whether it’s a family dinner or a potluck. Your guests will be raving about this dessert!
Make Ahead and Storage
If you’re planning to make this pie ahead of time, it’s a great idea! Just keep it covered in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. However, I recommend adding the bananas just before serving to prevent them from browning. If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
