4 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup white sugar
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh lemon rind
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup whipping cream, sweetened a bit

Steps:

  • Whip the egg whites until frothy and then add the cream of tartar, continue beating until the egg whites are very stiff and form peaks.

  • Filling: Beat the egg yokes until thick.
  • Gradually beat in the sugar, add lemon juice& rind with the bit of salt.
  • Cook in a double boiler until thick, stirring constantly.
  • Whip the cream (have the cream very cold and cool your bowl in the fridge too,) Add a little sugar to the cream, beat until stiff When the crust is completely cooled spread half the whipped cream in the shell, then half the lemon filling, top with remaining whipped cream Put in the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight.
  • Loosely cover the pie in the fridge.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana cream pie will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set: The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the pie to set and the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream: This will make the pie even more delicious.
