What do you make for someone who doesn't like chocolate? I could drown happily in a bowl of pure chocolate ice cream, no toppings needed. I know several of my (crazy) friends dislike chocolate in favor of flavorings like vanilla and caramel. I don't get it, but my friend Charmie is one of them. But I know she loves whipped cream, and who doesn't like bananas? So banana cream pie it was. Sliced bananas are folded into a pastry cream and spooned into a flaky pie crust, then topped with whipped cream. This pie is simple but delicious, not too sweet, and has great mouthfeel with clouds of airy cream. Charmie loved it, and it was her first-ever birthday pie. Will it be cake or pie on your next birthday?
