A classic treat from the past made with basic ingredients is banana pudding pie, sometimes referred to as banana cream pie with pudding. The taste that results from layering bananas with a creamy pudding filling is unbeatable!
Old Fashioned Banana Cream Pie
Ingredients:
- One cooked pie crust measuring 9 inches.
- Three cups of milk, whole.

- Cook until thickened over medium heat while continually stirring.

- Take the pan from the heat, then stir in the butter and vanilla.
- Let it warm up to lukewarm.
