Banana cream pies can be elevated by putting a quarter-inch-thick layer of chocolate ganache between graham cracker crust and banana pudding.

It's a seriously easy pie. Graham cracker crust (graham crackers'n'butter), chocolate ganache (dark chocolate chips, heavy cream), greenish banana slices laid down in a pseudo-grid, fill all with banana pudding, instant is fine. You can legit top it with reddi-whip. The recipe almost doesn't matter.

Nobody "loves" banana cream pie. Throw a fuckton of ganache in it and suddenly they do. There's a lesson there.
