Instructions
Chocolate Pie Crust
- Preheat oven to 425°.

- Slowly add the ice water a tablespoon at a time pulsing after each addition until the pie crust clumps together and forms a ball in the processor.
- Sprinkle flour on a solid, clean surface. Rub a small amount of flour on a rolling pin. Roll the pie crust out into a large circle to fit the 9 inch pie dish.
- Carefully place the pie crust into the pie dish. Pressing into the edges. Cut the excess from the edge and flute using your fingers.
- Using a fork gently poke holes into the bottom of the crust. Bake for 10 minutes or until pie crust is cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

- Pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream into a small saucepan. Heat to just boiling. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate.
- Let set for a couple of minutes then stir until all the chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Allow this to cool to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream into another bowl, beat with a mixer until soft peaks form. Fold into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour this into the bottom of the pie crust. Place the pie in the fridge to chill.
Custard Layer

- Remove the pie from the fridge. Slice the banana and layer the banana slices on top of the chocolate layer. Then spoon the cooled custard on top and smooth it out.
