homemade banana cream pie (good, custard good)

use eggbeaters pie crust. Remember when blind baking crust to put aluminum foil or parchment right up the sides so the crust doesn't fall down. Then put weights. Bake 425 deg for 15min take out and remove parchment and weights and then bake again for 7 min or more to cook centre.

AHHH I gotta makes this!

this is my boyfriend’s favorite dessert!! do you buy your crust premade or make your own? I’ve never made a pie before!

oh my goodness, then you have to make this!

i have made crust before, but i have found that it’s not a big enough difference to be worth all the effort– so i just get frozen pie crusts at the store! sometimes whole wheat too! xo
