i am going to say no, only because i have made it several times without cornstarch and it came out fine.
a banana cream pie
No. I tried that, it turned out terrible.
Yes. I have had problems when trying to use old corn starch as a thickener.
Cream is not a good replacement for cornstarch. Instead use 2 tablespoons of flour for 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Or you could use 4 teaspoons of quick cooking tapioca for 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
You could use a thickener if it comes out soupy, use 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to the pre-made pie filling, make sure you heat up the pie filling on a stove top when adding the cornstarch until it dissolves.
It must first be blind baked
cream cheese
No, you can use any brand of cream cheese you have.
They do make banana ice-cream. ---------------- banana pieces turn black during the ice cream making process, it just doesnt look appetizing. Plus the texture of banana (if pureed) is also not very popular when made into ice cream. although many factories do make banana ice cream and then they use many colourings to change the colour into a baby yellow. although it dosent taste that great
You will use a pre-baked pie crust when you are making a cream pie, when filling the pie crust with fresh fruit, or anything that does not require baking.
