So, yes this is another banana recipe review. We love our bananas around here. 🙂
A while back Maryjanes & Galoshes posted about this really cool whipped cream alternative. It is made with just bananas, egg whites, and a few teaspoons of sugar. Seriously? I had to try this.
I had a hard time getting my mixture to froth up like hers…maybe I overwhipped? So, I adjusted the recipe to fit my cooking quirks…
I beat 2 egg whites on high until I got stiff peaks. Then I incorporated 2 large chopped/mashed bananas – either way works- and actually left out the sugar. I also left the bananas a tiny bit chunky because it was going on some of my banana cream pie and I felt the chunkiness was welcome.
My banana cream pie recipe, pie crust, filling and all is found by clicking here.
It is really easy. The pie crust is an oil pie crust so it takes about a 1/2 hour to make and the filling is made in the microwave in a matter of 10 minutes or so. I told you…easy.
These two paired perfectly. mmm..mmm.
Keep in mind…
The whipped banana topping does not keep well in the fridge even for a couple of hours. It is best made right before serving.
It is also a bit fragile so I was afraid to get too fancy with it. Not piping material. Best just for dolloping and digging in.
With that said…I have to say again that it is soo good with this pie and the reduced calories and increased fruit content is definitely something to smile about.
This is one of our absolute favorite desserts and certainly our favorite pie.
Now what about you…
What is your favorite pie?
Seriously? What's my favorite pie? Um..the kind with crust? I'm the girl that takes a small sliver of each flavor at Thanksgiving dinner. Who can resist? 🙂
I think whipping the eggs before hand really helped, yours looks thicker than mine did. And on that pie is perfect!!! Your right though, must be used immediately. I have left over in the freezer, but I don't have high hopes for it 🙁

I love pie! A delicious strawberry rhubarb is wonderful but I'm afraid that French Silk Pie has stolen my heart 😉
YUM! I will have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing.
That is definitely culinary inspiration for you! Looks beautiful…
So funny that you post this – My foot (toes mainly) has been cramping all day. My husband keeps telling me to "go eat a banana"…this has to be the best possible way to ward off cramps.
YUM! Your cooking is always so pretty!
I LOVE pie (love it!), but my favorite is rhubarb. Last summer, our rhubarb growing season overlapped with our strawberry harvest and it was sheer glory around here for a couple weeks. 🙂
I'll definitely have to try the banana/egg white whipped cream!
Oh my gosh, reading your post about banana cream pie made me so hungry! It looks great.
Thank you for your nice comment on my blog, I really appreciate it. 🙂
This looks so good- I will have to try it myself.
I don’t think I have a favourite pie- just love everything with fruits and a crispy dough…
Your food pics are perfect! All the time!
Cinnamon apple pie has got to win, hands down! But, banana is also pretty good…
