Banana Cream Cheese Pie

Here's a super simple no cook dessert from my family cookbook. My oldest cousin was the contributor of this recipe. In the cookbook he calls it "Nanner Cream Cheese Pie" but I just can't make myself say that so I'm sticking with Banana instead of Nanner. What's funny about this is the very last line in the recipe says..."this is great. It will knock your socks in the creek". And you know what? He's right! This was really good. The cream filling has a little lemon kick to it which I enjoyed and it helped to tone down the banana. All the right flavors for an easy and delicious pie!
