How to Make Banana Cream Pie with Homemade Whipped Cream

 


This guide walks you through the full process: how to assemble the perfect banana cream pie, how to make ultra-aerated whipped cream using N₂O tools, and how to store it the right way all while keeping things simple and beginner-friendly.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Pie Filling

  • 2 cups whole milk

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 2 egg yolks

  • ½ cup suger

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2–3 ripe bananas

For the Whipped Cream 

  • 1 cup cold heavy cream

  • 1–2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • 1 whipped cream dispenser

  • 1 cream charger

Making the Banana Cream Filling

1. Heat the Milk

Warm 1½ cups of milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
Don’t let it boil, just steam gently.

2. Mix the Thickener

In a bowl, whisk together:

  • Remaining milk

  • Cornstarch

  • Egg yolks

  • Sugar

Whisk until smooth.

3. Combine & Thicken

Slowly pour the warm milk into your egg mixture while whisking.
Return everything to the pot and heat until thick.

4. Add Vanilla & Cool

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let the filling cool fully.

5. Slice Bananas

Add fresh banana slices into your pie crust just before adding the custard so they don’t turn brown too fast.

Assembling the Perfect Banana Cream Pie

1. Spread the Custard

Pour your cooled custard over the banana slices.

2. Add a Thick Layer of Whipped Cream

Use your N₂O dispenser to add thick, decorative swirls.
Since the whipped cream is stabilized by pressure, it won’t melt or deflate quickly.

3. Refrigerate

Chill the pie for at least 2 hours so everything sets properly.

Optional Toppings

  • Crushed vanilla cookies

  • Caramel drizzle

  • Extra banana slices

  • Chocolate shavings


Making Homemade Whipped Cream (Cafe-Level Quality)

If you’ve only used hand-whipped cream before, you’re about to level up. Using a cream charger or a nitrous oxide whipped cream regulator gives you:

  • Firmer texture

  • More stable whipped cream

  • Longer-lasting freshness

  • A perfectly smooth, airy mouthfeel


How to Whip the Cream Using N₂O Tools

  1. Pour cold heavy cream into your dispenser.

  2. Add powdered sugar for sweetness.

  3. Charge the dispenser using quick whip cartridges or a nitrous oxide tank system.

  4. Shake gently for 5–10 seconds.

  5. Dispense freshly whipped cream over your pie.

The N₂O pressure instantly aerates the cream, giving you a luxurious foam that keeps its shape for hours.

Tips for Storing Whipped Cream and Keeping It Fresh

 Whipped cream is delicate. Once aerated, it begins losing its structure almost immediately. Temperature, container type, and even the type of gas used can change its shelf life. A study published in the Journal of Dairy Science found that stabilized whipped creams can retain structure for up to 24–48 hours , but only when stored at the correct temperature and under constant pressure. That’s where a high-quality dispenser becomes essential. How Long Does Whipped Cream Last? Storage time depends on how the whipped cream is prepared: 1. Homemade Whipped Cream (Hand-Whipped or Electric Mixer) Lasts 6–12 hours in the refrigerator May become watery or separate 2. Whipped Cream Made With a Dispenser When using a whipped cream dispenser with a cream charger : Lasts 1–3 days in the fridge Stays airy because it remains under N₂O pressure 3. Store-Bought Canned Whipped Cream Lasts 2–3 weeks after opening Contains stabilizers that extend shelf life Best Practic...
