To use this mix, you will typically combine it with wet ingredients such as milk and sometimes eggs or butter, as directed on the package. The mixture is then cooked, usually on the stovetop, until it thickens into a smooth, creamy consistency. This prepared filling is then poured into a pre-baked pie crust. Some variations might suggest chilling the filling before adding it to the crust. It’s a straightforward method to achieve a satisfying banana cream pie.
