Ingredients: – 1 pre-made pie crust (you can use store-bought or homemade) – 3 ripe banana – 2 cups milk – 1/2 cup granulated sugar – 1/4 cup cornstarch
– 1/4 teaspoon salt – 4 egg yolk – 2 tablespoons unsalted butter – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Whipped cream, for topping
Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the pie crust package, if necessary. 2. If using a pre-made crust, follow the package instructions for baking it. If using a homemade crust, blind bake it according to your recipe.
1. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and milk until well combined.
1. Gradually pour the milk mixture into the saucepan with the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. 2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble.
1. Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. 2. Slice the bananas and arrange them in the bottom of the baked pie crust.
1. Pour the filling over the bananas in the pie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. 2. Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
1. Once chilled, top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with additional banana slices, if desired. 2. Slice and serve, and enjoy your delicious Banana Cream Pie!
