Creamy and smooth from-scratch custard joins bananas, whipped cream, and a buttery flaky baked pie crust to make one epic banana cream pie. This classic dessert is 100% homemade, like my cherry pie, and the perfect make-ahead option because the layered beauty needs to set before garnishing and serving.
I originally published this recipe in 2016 and have since added new photos, a video tutorial, and have fine-tuned the process and recipe. See recipe notes for exact changes.
