Extra Info: If you don’t know what to do with the left over egg whites, you can use the left over Egg Whites to make a Meringue. Or, if you’re feeling guilty after eating so much pie, you can make yourself a low calorie Egg White Omelette for breakfast the next day!

You can prevent the Banana slices from browning by dunking them into orange juice.

When it comes to the Whipped cream, you can whip you own Cream and flavor it how you like, or take the easy route and buy a can of Whipped Cream. The can Whipped Cream tends to break down in the heat faster though. It's all up to you. Happy Eating!
