Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 pound purchased frozen semisweet chocolate chip cookie dough, thawed
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 large egg yolks
2 1/3 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon dark rum
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 medium bananas, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 cup chilled whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Chocolate curls (optional)

Steps:

  • Spray 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish with nonstick spray. Arrange 3/4 of cookie dough in prepared dish (reserve remaining dough for another use). Press dough evenly onto bottom and up sides of dish, building high-standing dough edge on rim of dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup nuts; press nuts into dough. Pierce dough all over with toothpick. Freeze crust 1 hour.Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Fold 36-inch-long piece of foil lengthwise into thirds, forming 36x4-inch strip. Place pie dish on baking sheet. Stand foil strip snugly around dish, protecting outer edge of crust; secure overlap with paper clip. Bake crust until golden and dry to touch, about 25 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, whisk 1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt to blend in heavy medium saucepan. Whisk in yolks; gradually add milk, whisking until smooth. Whisk over medium-high heat until custard thickens and boils, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter, rum, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Transfer to large bowl; cool to lukewarm, whisking occasionally, about 45 minutes.
  • Spread 1 cup custard in crust. Top with 3 sliced bananas, then remaining custard, covering bananas completely. Chill pie until filling sets, about 2 hours. Beat cream, powdered sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla in medium bowl to peaks. Spread cream over pie. Refrigerate at least 1 and up to 8 hours. Garnish pie with chocolate curls, if desired. Cut into wedges and serve.

This pie was a waste of time and money. The crust was hard as a rock and the filling was like glue. I will never make this pie again.

This pie was not good. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The pie was a bit difficult to make. The crust was a bit crumbly and the filling was a bit runny. However, the flavor was good.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time. Other than that, the pie was delicious.

I made this pie for my husband's birthday and he loved it! The crust was crispy and the filling was smooth and creamy. The bananas added a nice sweetness to the pie. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This banana cream pie was a hit at our family gathering. The chocolate chip cookie crust added a delicious twist to the classic recipe. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the bananas were perfectly ripe. I will definitely be making this pie ag
