Notes
Choose firm bananas: Avoid overly ripe ones that can turn mushy in the pie.
Soften the cream cheese: Room temperature cream cheese blends smoother and prevents lumps.
Keep ingredients cold: Cold cream and tools make whipped cream whip faster and hold shape.
Allow full chill time: Give it at least 4 hours to set before slicing.
Add toppings last: Keeps bananas fresh and cookies crisp until serving time.
