5️⃣ Cool and Serve
- Let the pie cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours until fully set.
- Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
- Optional: Garnish with whipped cream, toasted coconut, or a dusting of cinnamon before serving.
💡 Tips
- Extra creamy: Add a splash of heavy cream or an extra egg yolk to the custard for extra richness.
- Banana freshness: Brush banana slices with lemon juice to prevent browning before layering in the crust.
- Make it ahead: Prepare the custard and crust a day in advance. Assemble the pie a few hours before serving.
- Top with meringue: Use your leftover egg whites to make a fluffy meringue topping for a traditional finish.
