This luscious pie features layers of creamy banana pudding, sweet strawberry filling, and a generous topping of whipped cream, creating a symphony of flavors and textures. The article offers two variations of this delectable pie: a traditional version and a chocolate chip cookie crust version. The traditional pie crust provides a flaky and buttery base, while the chocolate chip cookie crust adds a layer of richness and crunch.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a medium bowl, stir together crushed wafers, brown sugar, melted butter, and ½ teaspoon salt until well combined. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, cook milk, cream, granulated sugar, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, just until bubbles form around sides of pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly whisk one-fourth of hot milk mixture into eggs. Whisk egg mixture into remaining milk mixture in saucepan, and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick, about 3 minutes. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, discarding solids. Whisk in vanilla and softened butter until melted and smooth. Cover with plastic wrap, and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Arrange banana slices in bottom of crust. Stir custard, and gently spread onto bananas. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly on surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving or up to overnight. Top with Brown Sugar Whipped Cream just before serving. Garnish with vanilla wafers and banana, if desired.
- In a large bowl, beat all ingredients with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Use immediately.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter, more flavorful pie. Overripe bananas are perfect for this recipe.
- Don't overmix the pie crust. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
- Chill the pie crust before baking. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking and cracking.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help create a golden brown crust.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
