For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the creamed mixture. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until it turns a nutty brown color. Let cool slightly before creaming with the sugar. To prevent the banana slices from browning, toss them with a tablespoon of lemon juice before adding them to the whipped cream mixture. If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse the vanilla wafers in a food processor until finely ground. For a festive touch, garnish the pie with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts and a few banana slices before serving.
