...going bananas!

One of my favorite desserts is Banana Creme Pie...

...but only when it's made well.

I happen to have an awesome formula for a quick creme pie.

Check this out:

1. Get some Nilla Wafers.  I mean it's a must.  Throw them in a blender to get them finely ground.  If chunks remain, no worries- it's okay :)

2.  Throw some melted butter in with the ground wafers.  Only go a tablespoon or so at a time.  You don't want it to be greasy.  You'll know when its the right consistency when it can be smushed into a crust.

3.  Thus, smush it into a crush. I prefer thicker crusts...so go wild!!

4. Use instant banana pudding mix.  (Hey if you're in a hurry, it'll do the trick!)

5. Quarter one or two bananas depending on your texture preference.  I normally go for two. YUM!

6.  Dump the pudding onto the crust!

7.  Make homemade whip cream.  Seriously, I can't stand Cool-whip, but homemade is amazing.
To make homemade whip cream, get  1/2 pint of heavy whipping cream and use a whisk blender.  Blend it for a minute or two and then add powdered sugar about a cup at a time.  It'll get the texture of a whip cream but a little different.  I say add powdered sugar until you like the flavor.

8.  Lather that pie with the whip cream and get a nice cold glass of milk!

Oh yeah,  you can thank later ;)
