Banana Cream Pie
Banana Cream Pie is a classic dessert featuring a baked deep-dish pie crust filled with sliced bananas and a rich vanilla pudding topped with whipped cream. The pudding is made by cooking milk, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and eggs until thickened, then enriched with butter and vanilla. After chilling to set, the pie is garnished with whipped cream for a creamy, fruity treat.

Ingredients
- 2 cups milk room temperature, whole
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg beaten, yolk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pie crust 9 inch, deep dish
- 4 banana sliced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and bake the pie crust for 30 minutes then remove to cool.
- Add the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt to a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbly.
- Keep stirring and cook for another 5-6 minutes before removing from the heat.
- Using a 1/4 cup of the milk mixture which you've cooled in the fridge for two minutes, add the egg yolks to it and whisk to combine before adding it back into the rest of the milk mixture.
- Set the saucepan back on the stove on medium heat again and whisk for an additional 3-4 minutes until it's totally smooth and thickened to a pudding consistency.
- Remove from the heat and add in the butter and vanilla, whisking well.
- Add the banana slices to the bottom of the pie shell, cover with the pudding and press saran wrap onto the pie gently to avoid a skin from forming on top.
- Cool the pie completely in the fridge (3-4 hours) before topping with whipped cream and additional banana slices. To make the whipped cream add the powdered sugar to the heavy cream and beat until it forms medium peaks, about 1-2 minutes with a hand mixer.
