When I was a little girl my Mom used to occasionally make my Dad, Banana Cream Pie, for a treat. It was one of his favourites. My parents are divorced, and I very rarely get to see my Dad, since he lives on the other side of the country, but making this pie made me think of him. It was a hit with my youngest daughter too, who loves bananas. It is super easy to make.
