Excellent pie. This Old-Fashioned Banana Cream Pie is easy to make and delicious. Before Cool Whip and instant pudding this was how a cream pie was made.
It’s just as easy to make this in all its pudding variations as well: vanilla, coconut or banana.
Almost as easy as pudding out of the box but much tastier! This is the perfect grand finale to any summer cookout. Your guests won’t stop raving about it. It is so deliciously creamy and easy to make.

Old-Fashioned Banana Cream Pie
Ingredients
- 1 9 inch pie crusts, baked
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg yolks slightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 bananas
Instructions
- Have baked 9-inch pie shell ready.
- In a large saucepan, scald the milk.
- In another saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and salt; gradually stir in the scalded milk. Over medium heat, stirring constantly, cook until thickened. Cover and, stirring occasionally, cook for two minutes longer.
- In a small bowl, have the 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten, ready; stir a small amount of the hot mixture into beaten yolks; when thoroughly combined, stir yolks into hot mixture. Cook for one minute longer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and blend in the butter and vanilla. Let sit until lukewarm.
- When ready to pour, slice bananas and scatter in pie shell; pour warm mixture over bananas.
- If desired, make a meringue (you'll have 3 leftover egg whites) to top the pie, or just let the pie cool until serving.
