    Tips and Substitutions

    • Fresh whipped cream or Cool Whip works great with this dessert. To make homemade whipped cream, in a large bowl on high speed, blend together 3 cups heaving whipping cream, ½ cup powered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, about 1-2 minutes.
    • Homemade pie crusts can substitute premade.
      • For a graham cracker crust, simply mix together 3 cups crushed graham crackers and 12 tablespoons melted butter. Divide the mixture into 2 pie pans and press evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, then cool completely.
      • For a pecan pie crust, simply mix together 1 ½ cups all purpose flour, 1 cup finely chopped pecans and 12 tablespoons melted butter. Divide the mixture into 2 pie pans and press evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Bake at 350°F for 14-18 minutes, then cool completely.
    • This dessert can also be made in a 13x9 pan with a homemade crust as noted above.
    • Ensure you drain the pineapple well so that the filling doesn’t become runny.

    Storage

    • If you surprisingly have leftovers, cover the pie well and store in the refrigerator up to 4 days. The bananas will likely start to brown after 2 days. This pie doesn’t freeze and thaw well.
