Tips:

- To make the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will result in a flaky and tender crust. - Be sure to chill the pie dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven. - When making the banana filling, use ripe bananas. This will give the filling a sweeter and more flavorful taste. - For the best results, use fresh whipped cream. This will add a light and fluffy texture to the pie. - If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue with a broiler. Just be sure to watch it closely so that it doesn't burn.
