Substitution Ideas
Here are the few substitution ideas that will help you make the Banana cream pie with your flare:
- Replace the wafer crust with the pre-made pie crust. It will add a flaky texture but an extra step of baking. But it is worth it.
- Replace wafer crust with Graham cracker crust but add a little more sugar.
- You can use Vanilla custard too instead of Banana pudding. But don’t forget to add the sliced bananas through the layers for banana goodness.
