Individual Banana cream pie

I saw these bananas on the table for 2 days now, ^^, and I really wanted to make something from them.
 
Banana cream pie is always be my family's favourite dessert, soft and creamy custard with sweetened whipped and a delicious taste from the banana, you can be sure it's a real hit!
 It's easy to make,  (esp. if you use the same Pâte sucrée (sweet shortcrust pastry) Basic recipe as mine).
Serve it cool with a cup of tea is recommended, and believe me everyone can finish this little pie in one sitting, hehe.
