Banana Cream Pie for about $3.00

In the last few weeks,I have made several chocolate cream pies,with tasty results. Tonight I made something different--a banana cream pie.It is now in the fridge and will be ready for my late night snack.
A post far more fulfilling than that of politics.LOL and leaves everyone with a good taste in their mouths.

My wife makes graham cracker crust for her homemade cheesecakes.

Going hunting in the morning with my son, two grandsons, a grandsons friend. Going to walk out some hedgerows, plum thickets, stuff like that. Squirrels, rabbits and quail are the quarry. We get home and get our game dressed and soaking in salt water, I am going to turn these into banana bread. Got some pecan pieces to add in too.

That banana creme pie is good stuff but I am not going near a store tomorrow and I dont have a store bought crust, graham crackers or a box of banana pudding.

Do have these though. Getting about ripe enough I think.

what is your recipe?

Sounds awesome.

Bigfoot, I take the storebought pre made graham cracker crust,slice a couple bananas into the crust.Then take a vanilla or banana cream pudding mix --follow the directions on the box.
When the pudding pie filling is ready,pour it into the banana filled pie crust.I the refrigerate it till it sets solid,then spread the top of the pie with whipped topping---cut.eat and enjoy.
If you are interested in the chocolate cream pie--just eliminate the bananas and use a chocolate pudding.
A side note,the instant puddings are fine to use(they are much better than they were,years ago).and they sure save on the arms.When using the cook and eat puddings,they wequire 5 minutes of constant stirring,at least they take less stirring than making tapioca.

That banana creme pie is good with nabisco vanilla wafers put on top while its still wet too. they soak up some of the liquid. get a little softer while the pie sets up a little stiffer.

No thread on cream pies is complete without this -


They just don't make movies like this anymore

My favorite kind of my but I like about any types.

Great, now I'm hungry

Wife just tried the pie and said it was very good.Said she couldn't have done any better.
Tom

thanks , I will have to try!

It was good.I am stocking up on pie crusts and whipped topping today.We have high winds and a lot of snow coming our way.Gonna make sure our sweet tooth is taken care of.

Danny -

Green container on your shelf is lard isn't it? We have rendered out own the last few years but I thought it comes in that kind of container. I really prefer lard crusts for my pies and biscuits but for cream pies do like graham cracker - I just prefer chocolate but my favorite was a fresh peaches and cream whipped pie I had as a kid.

Glad this got posted. I haven't had banana creme pie in ages. I was at the store this afternoon and they had an end cap of banana pudding on sale. picked up a few boxes and pie crust including a chocolate gram crust.

My poor girls have never had a pudding pie.

Great Now I want pie

Lol....alot of pie in the face there.

wife wanted to go out for burgers tuesday, local restraunt has 6.00 burgers. they had bananna cheese cake ! never had it before so i tried it, real good!

For $6 the cheesecake should have been included in the price
