Mmmm… banana cream pie. It’s one of those classic desserts that everyone in my family simply adores. Whether I’m whipping it up for my crew, or need a quick dessert to take to an event, this easy triple layer banana cream pie recipe is always a hit.

I like that I can build this recipe right in a 13×9 baking dish. It’s easy to pop in the fridge when I’m done, and it’s also great for transporting. Who says pie needs to be round?

You’re going to love the delicious, crispy crust featuring pecans and vanilla wafers. It’s the perfect texture paired with the cool, creamy layers of the banana cream pie. I’m pretty much always a fan of desserts that include COOL WHIP. What can I say, I’m just a fan!

The addition of a layer of fresh bananas in this banana cream pie recipe makes it really delicious. Bananas are one fruit my kids love eating, and they always love it when I make this recipe.

If you want to add a little crunch to the top of your triple layer banana cream pie, crush a few extra vanilla wafers and sprinkle them on top.

I’m loving this pie as a spring or Easter dessert, but it’s really great throughout the year.
