Banana Cream Pie recipe

I have been wanting to try out this specific recipe for a while now and yesterday I was presented with the perfect opportunity to whip out the bananas and get this thing made. It is a bit of a time consuming pie to make because you have to wait for things like the custard and the base to cool and that takes a while, but it’s worth it in the end. This banana cream, chocolate, custard extravagancer went down a treat last night at a friend’s house. I’ll definitely be making it again, but next time I’ll change 2 things and they are 1. I’m going to make the crust a bit thinner, it was a bit thick for my liking and 2. I’m going to bake the crust for a little less time, I found it to be a little to hard.

This recipe calls for you to make the custard from scratch, but I must warn you, it’s flipping delicious so try not eat half of it before it goes into the actual pie and  by pie, I don’t mean your pie-hole.

The original recipe for this pie can be found here, I substituted cardamon for cinnamon because I didn’t have any, but it came out nicely anyway.

Happy pie-ing.
