Cream pies are my mom’s specialty, and this dreamy dessert has a wonderful banana flavor. It looks so pretty topped with almonds…and it cuts easily, too. —Jodi Grable, Springfield, Missouri

This is the best Banana Cream Pie I have ever tasted! It definetly is a 5 star!

My pie itself tasted great, but after storing the leftover pie in the fridge overnight, my whipped cream went flat and got very soupy. What did I do wrong? My crust ended up all mushy from the liquid.
