Ingredients
- 9" pre-baked pie crust in a pie pan
- 3 large bananas sliced (two for the bottom of the pie and one for garnishing the top)
For the filling:
- 2 ¼ cups whole milk (divided)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 large egg yolks (beaten)
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or banana flavoring)
For the Topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (or banana flavoring)
Instructions
- Using a double boiler, heat 1 ¾ cup milk to boiling over medium heat. 2 ¼ cups whole milk
- While the milk is heating, mix together the sugar, salt, cornstarch, and flour. Add the remaining ½ cup of milk and whisk until smooth. 1/2 cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Drizzle the milk/sugar mixture into the hot milk, whisking as you drizzle it in. Cook, stirring constantly until it starts to thicken, then reduce heat to low, cover the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Place the egg yolks in a small bowl and whisk them to break up the yolks. 3 large egg yolks
- Remove 3 tablespoons of hot cream and add it to the eggs, whisking as you add it to temper the eggs.
- Add the egg mixture into the hot cream. Whisk and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until thick.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Add in the butter and vanilla. Stir well. 1 tablespoon salted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Slice 2 bananas and arrange them in the bottom of the baked pie crust. Pour the cream over the bananas into the pie crust. Smooth the top.
- Allow it to cool for 10 minutes, then cover the pie and refrigerate.
- Prepare the whipped cream: Use a high powered hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cold cream, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Spread the whipped cream over the cooled pie. Decorate the top of the pie with sliced bananas right before serving.
- Refrigerate until serving and store leftovers in the fridge.
