- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream

- Layer in bananas: Slice bananas and layer evenly over the crust.

- Top with whipped cream: Whip heavy cream with sugar until soft peaks form and spread over the pie.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate for at least two hours to let flavors meld.
