Who doesn't like the delicious taste of banana cream pie? Here is a day to celebrate and honor that flavorful dessert.
Cream pies come in many flavors. A cream pie is a pie filled with a rich custard or pudding that is made from milk, cream, flour, and eggs.
Cream pies may be made with vanilla, lemon, lime, peanut butter, banana, coconut, and chocolate.
The traditional banana cream pie has a crust made out of graham crackers or pastry dough; a layer of sliced bananas; a custard filling made with eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla; and a topping of whipped cream or meringue. Common embellishments include pecans or drizzles of chocolate and caramel.
Origin of cream pies
