March 2nd is National Banana Cream Pie Day

The month of February has been the Great American Pie Month, so as February comes to a close I thought I'd share one more pie recipe - and since March 2nd is National Banana Cream Pie Day, it seemed like a good idea to share my favorite Banana Cream Pie recipe with you - you will have time to gather supplies so you are able to celebrate with a tasty pie on Saturday!

Banana Cream Pie - Shortbread Crust

     1 cup (226 g) salted butter, softened

• ▢2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
• ▢½ cup (57 g) confectioners sugar
• 
  
• Preheat oven to 350º F.
• Mix together butter, flour, and confectioners sugar. 
• Press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan, a pie plate, tart pan, or other pan for your baking.
• Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before filling.

Cream Filling - follow this recipe at this link, but when cooled, whip heavy cream and fold with the cream, then line your shortbread crust with bananas and pour cream over bananas and crust. Chill until you are ready to serve and enjoy! Happy National Banana Cream Pie Day.
