Press onto a pie plate. Bake for 7 minutes. Let cool completely.
Banana Cream Filling
In a saucepan, mix together sugar and cornstarch. Add the half and half and egg yolk and whisk together.
On a medium heat, heat the filling and stir until it becomes thick. Stir in butter and vanilla. Let cool.
Pour 1/3 of the filling to cover the bottom of the crust. Add banana slices. Add the rest of the filling.
Cover the pie with cling wrap and let it touch the top of the pie.
Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Whipped Cream
In a stand mixer, beat heavy cream, sugar and vanilla at high speed until it comes to stiff peak form. Do not overbeat because it will become butter.
