    Banana Pie With Almond Cream

    ↓ Jump to Recipe
    Print Recipe

    Banana pie with almond cream is an unexpected combo that will make you rethink your over-ripped banana. The mashed bananas are sandwiched between a shortbread crust and sweet almond cream.

    I love making this recipe because it is perfect for any season of the year so while I am waiting for the fruit to be ready to be picked up in the tree, I want to share this recipe with you.

    Travel-Baking With Banana Pie

    Do you have recipes that are special to you and your family?  There is the Linzer Torte that I would do every summer when I used to live in France.  I would pick up the figs in the tree in the morning and bake this tart in the afternoon.  Rarely there would be any leftovers.

    Since then, when I do this recipe... While it is baking in the oven, I can close my eye and travel back home.

    There is also the spice cake or the French Basque chicken. I have so many ways to travel back to France through the smell in my kitchen and my taste buds.

      Hi again, Melanie!
      You're from the south of France! I stayed in Bordeaux for 1 year many years ago (it feels strange to say that!) when I was a student. I LOVE the sound of this banana tart. We have something similar in England called a Bakewell tart, but it really is a fantastic idea to add bananas. Pinning this for sure.
      P.S. J'adore tes photos!
