Baking is a release for me and now, more than ever, my mind goes to those recipes that provide comfort, nourish the spirits and bring a smile to my family and friends.
I'm always surprised when I bring an apple and banana cream pie to a gathering.
The banana cream pie is all gone even before two slices of apple have disappeared from its plate!
And that is when I discovered that banana cream pie is a forgotten favorite.
Banana Cream Pie
My cream filling is homemade and super easy to make.
I use half and half and vanilla bean paste and butter. These ingredients give it a rich, creamy texture and the vanilla bean provides an amazing richness.
I top my pie with meringue and generous slices of fresh bananas and vanilla wafers. And yes, it tastes as good as it looks! A tasty alternative to the meringue is fresh whipped cream.
