How to Make The Best Banana Cream Pie

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 8 ounces sour cream, and 3.4 ounces instant banana pudding mix until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the pudding to fully thicken.
  3. Slice 3-4 ripe bananas and arrange them neatly in the pre-made pie crust.
  4. Gently pour the pudding mixture over the sliced bananas, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Refrigerate the pie for at least 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and chilled.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  7. Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Beat until stiff peaks form.
  8. Dollop the whipped cream generously over the chilled pie filling.
