Bake pie crust according to package directions and let cool
In a medium saucepan add the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and whisk together. Heat on medium-low heat and whisk in the half and a half and the egg yolks until smooth. Bring the mixture to a low simmer, continue whisking until it thickens to the texture of custard for about 5-6 minutes.
Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla and butter. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
Pour 1/4 of the filling into the pie shell. Add one sliced banana and then another layer of pie filling followed by another banana and then the rest of the pie filling.
Cover with saran wrap and chill for 4 hours.
Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or electric mixer whip the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla at the highest speed until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
The pie is best served the same day
