Banana Cream Pie

My father-in-law has a bigger sweet tooth than I do. It really is amazing. He loves anything sweet for breakfast and he adores dessert. I try to take something with us anytime we go over to my in-laws home. He loves bananas, so this banana cream pie is a quick dessert to put together when I know we are visiting.

I use a nut crust for the pie, so it is entirely grain free. I like to make the crust the day before and refrigerate it overnight so it is nice and chilled for the filling.
