Brown Sugar Banana Cream Pie

This Brown Sugar Banana Cream Pie takes banana cream pie to a whole new level. An easy to make graham cracker crust is topped with a layer of bananas, luscious homemade brown sugar custard and finished with lightly sweetened whipped cream. 

Pie and Beer Day was a few weeks ago. Okay, officially it’s Pioneer Day, on July 24 in Utah. Pioneer Day is a Utah holiday to celebrate Mormon pioneers arrival into the Salt Lake Valley. Unofficially we like to celebrate it as Pie and Beer Day. Really though we just like an excuse to eat pie.

When I asked my son what kind of pie he would like me to make for Pie and Beer Day, he said banana cream pie. Banana cream is perfect any time of year, but sounded like a perfect summer pie for a Pie and Beer Day celebration.

Banana Cream Pie is an easy pie to make. In a pinch you can make the pudding/custard part from a box. However, if you’ve never tried making your own pudding, you need to give it a try. It only takes a few ingredient and it tastes so much better than boxed pudding.
