A vanilla pastry cream pie with banana slices is what I read. The pastry cream looks great with vanilla bean fleck. I see a challenge there.

Without the description, I would think that is a chicken fried steak with cream gravy and butter shavings on top. Actually, that sounds better to me!

In the South, even banana pudding is (in my experience) not really made with banana-flavored pudding (icky, artificial) but with fresh banana slices in sweetened, condensed milk-enhanced, whipped cream-enhanced vanilla pudding (and with Nilla wafers, of course). So this pie is kind of banana pudding in a crust.
