Banana Cream Pie Recipe Like Grandma’s

A classic Banana Cream Pie recipe, topped high with homemade meringue is just like the pie my grandma used to make. 

A Classic Banana Cream Pie Recipe that my grandma used to make! Homemade pie is so much easier than you think. This recipe is perfect for the holidays!

There is one thing I’ve discovered as I have learned to make homemade pie. The more I do it, the more I miss my grandma.

As I was beating the egg whites together for the meringue of this banana cream pie, tears sprung to my eyes .

Grandma was our family pie maker. She made the absolute best pies.  She would make dozens of pies for every family gathering. No matter what, she would always cater to everyones favorites. From apple, to pumpkin, to pecan, to my favorite banana cream pie, if there was a pie someone wanted, Grandma would bring it. I can only imagine how much work went into her epic pie baking days.

I always remember her pulling up to our house on family occasions, with copy paper boxes full of homemade pies. It would take several trips from her car to our house to bring all the pies in.

Grandma pulling up to our house would stop everyone in their tracks. We all couldn’t wait to see how many of our favorite homemade pies she would bring this time. Once the pies were in the house and displayed on their pie plate, it took every ounce of willpower to not take a nibble. Often times, we’d find pieces of meringue picked off  the pies with a chorus of “it wasn’t me” when confronted.

Grandma Sumner has been gone for 13 years now, but I can remember her pies like it was yesterday. I think she’d be really proud of me. I wish I would have learned to love making pie sooner. I’d love so much to make my favorite banana cream pie alongside her. Although, I have no doubt she’s right here beside me anyway. With every fluff of meringue, I’m quickly taken back to those times when she was still with us.

Homemade Banana Cream Pie Recipe on dineanddish.netThis banana cream pie recipe is the one my Grandma Sumner used to make, my mom makes and now I make. It’s a classic recipe from the most used cookbook on  my bookshelf…the Better Crocker’s Cookbook. I actually think this was the first cookbook I have ever owned.

The page this recipe is on is full of the recipes Grandma used for her homemade pies. It is so splattered and worn, you can tell it’s a great recipe. Grandma always said, a messy cookbook page is the map to find the absolute best recipes. With this banana cream pie recipe she was especially right.

Above all, there’s a reason this recipe is a staple. Its rich, creamy full of flavor banana pudding pie filling can’t be beat. Add to that the most perfectly fluffy homemade meringue and you have homemade pie perfection.

A Classic Banana Cream Pie Recipe that my grandma used to make!

Banana Cream Pie is my absolute favorite and is a must have for dessert on both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think this pie should be come a tradition in your family too! I hope you’ll give it a try. Enjoy!

For tips and and a recipe for perfectly flaky pie crust, visit my video tutorial post.

Making the perfect pie crust has always been the one thing keeping me from making pie. The post linked above will teach you how to easily make a perfectly flaky pie crust. In fact, there’s a special tip that my friend DeLynn taught me that made all the difference. I’ll tell you now, the secret is in the paste. Wonder what I mean? Make sure to check out the video tutorial! It will change how you make pie crust from here on out. For

For this pie recipe you’ll want to blind bake the crust at 400°F for 12-14 minutes, until light brown.

A Homemade Banana Cream Pie recipe just like what grandma used to make! Fluffy meringue and a flaky pie crust make this pie extra special.

Tips and tricks for making Banana Cream Pie

Fully ripe, sliced bananas make for the best banana flavor. Bananas that aren’t quite ripe don’t have the same full flavor, so choose ripe bananas for this recipe.

Separating egg yolks from the egg whites is a pain. This egg seperator tool makes it such a simple task for high volume recipes like this one.

The biggest challenge with this recipe is remembering to be attentive when cooking the pie filling. Stir the mixture continuously, as milk products have a high tendency to burn easily. The last thing you want is little bits of burnt pudding ruining your banana cream pie.

If you aren’t a fan of meringue, an alternate topping would be fresh whipped cream. If you make this substitute, just skip the meringue steps in the recipe below. I recommend topping the pie with homemade whipped cream right before serving.

Although I love banana cream pie with traditional pie crust, you can easily make graham cracker crust instead.

Finally, if you want to skip the pie for a simple dessert, this Banana Pudding Recipe would be a great alternative.

    oh it’s perfect and my favorite pie!! this is the recipe I used and my pie turned out runny and meringue rubbery, you’ve made me want to try again. I did try a tip I saw on youtube that maybe it cause some of my problem, so I wont do it next time. She said to turn the oven off and leave the pie to cool 10-15 mins in the oven – maybe that wasn’t a good idea. I’m excited to try again!!

    Out of curiosity I checked your meringue recipe to see if you had tried the Marshmallow creme tip but saw the recipe did not include it. Have you tried it yet? 1/2 cup marshmallow creme to 3 eggs – I think you would like it. 🙂

      November 17, 2018 at 4:59 pm

      I am not familiar with this tip. Can you share the instructions? Thanx! Liz

        HI Liz,
        Here’s what sweet Joyce shared with me via email awhile back:
        I want to tell you that my mom found a secret to good meringue that will never weep! Rather than putting sugar in the meringue she added a half cup of Marshmallow creme to the egg whites and beat it up the same way. It makes it even more fluffy and has a great taste.. A free hint for you to try!

    Banana cream pie does not have meringue…hence cbabsna cream pie

  20. Sonia Winter says

    February 8, 2019 at 7:34 am

    I think I used this recipe once and the taste and meringue were good. I had an issue with my bananas having a weird texture. I was thinking it was from putting them in the hot pudding and then in the oven. Do you have any issues with the bananas? They were kind of rubbery/stryrofoamy odd texture. They might have been a little on the under ripe side. I don’t recall. My husband loves meringue on his banana cream so I’d like to figure this out!

    I’ve tried this recipe twice and the filling will NOT set! Help! What am i doing wrong?? All the corn starch dissolved and i waited for the pie to cool to room temperature before cutting. The meringue keeps forming liquid droplets on it when it cools. I need help.

    Awesome recipe. I had never made custard from scratch and it came out delicious. Lots of meringue too. Bring me back to my mom’s kitchen. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
