Forget The Drama And Enjoy Life With This Banana Meringue Pie!

Because I didn’t have anything to bring to the potluck I was invited to, I made this banana meringue pie. I made two, actually, because there was quite a huge number of people who were invited. I admit that I was a bit scared that no one will take a closer look at the pies I have brought. But to my surprise, it was one of the very first dishes that went empty in minutes. So I guess that proves this is indeed a good recipe!

Thank you, Hugs And Cookies for sharing this with us!

Speaking of Hugs And Cookies, let’s see what they have to say about this amazing recipe:

” This crust is just to die for. It is made from Nilla wafer cookies which blows away a graham cracker crust!! I have heard of banana cream pie and lemon meringue pie but never a banana meringue pie! I knew I had to try it.  It was so amazing that even the next day I was eating it right out of the pan!  This is one for your baking bucket list, for sure!”

I will never regret coming across this pie recipe. It’s all worth it! You should really try this for your family!
