Banana Cream Pie Recipe

Banana Cream Pie is a type of pie filled with a rich filling that is usually made from milk, cornstarch or flour, and eggs. The main ingredient, banana, is usually placed at the center layer between the filling.

This simple pie dessert recipe is so rich and delicious. It has the right amount of sweetness and the taste is heavenly. Another good thing that I liked about this recipe is it does not involve baking.

By simply looking at the picture, you’ll notice how good it looks. I know that you’ll all agree (you should). My wife made this and she’ll be reading this article soon. Have I told you that this is my favorite pie? 🙂

Seriously, this is really good. You should try making this soon because you don’t know what you are missing.

I want to chat with you more, but we are scheduled to make red velvet cupcakes tonight. How about dropping-in a comment to extend this conversation? I’ll check your comments later. Ciao!
