Time 4h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 24 graham crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg yolks, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
2 cups sliced bananas (about 2 bananas)
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 cup toasted coconut chips, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a 9-inch pie plate with butter to grease.
  • In a medium bowl, stir to combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt, then press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, 12 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the pie: Whisk the granulated sugar and flour together in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Whisk in the milk, coconut milk, condensed milk, coconut extract and vanilla extract. Whisking occasionally, bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then temper the egg yolks: carefully remove a cup of the hot milk mixture and whisk in the beaten eggs yolks. Add the yolk mixture to the milk and then add the butter. Remove from the heat and fold in the bananas, then transfer the pie filling to the cooled graham cracker crust.
  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap, placing the wrap directly onto the surface of the filling. Chill until completely set, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Whip the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form, then spoon the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Garnish with toasted coconut chips and slice to serve.

This pie is perfect for summer parties. It's light and refreshing, and the coconut flavor is perfect for a tropical theme.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I added some chopped walnuts to the filling and it gave it a nice crunch. I also used a chocolate graham cracker crust, which was a delicious twist.

I used a gluten-free graham cracker crust and it worked perfectly. This pie is a great option for people with dietary restrictions.

This pie is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld and the crust was nice and soft.

I was disappointed with this pie. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I won't be making it again.

I'm not usually a fan of banana cream pie, but this one was delicious! The coconut added a nice touch of sweetness and the graham cracker crust was the perfect base.
