Our layered Homemade Banana Cream Pie has a chewy nilla wafer crust, a soft cream cheese layer, creamy banana pudding, fresh sliced bananas, and whipped topping for the perfect easy pie.
Flaky pie crusts that are pretty close to perfect. Many first prize ribbons in my drawer are due to this recipe. When I was catering fulltime, we made about 6 pies every day, and we always used this recipe...
As my son says, it is like eating French Toast for dessert. :) It is very much like French Toast with a lovely caramel sauce on it. We all like it warm best. Make sure you use a 2-quart dish. Trust me,...
