Yield Makes 1 (9-inch) pie

Number Of Ingredients 16

Crust:
1½ cups whole vanilla wafers
4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
Filling:
3 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted
1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
3 bananas, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
1 cup whole vanilla wafers

Steps:

  • For the crust:
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Place the vanilla wafers in a food processor and pulse until the crumbs resemble coarse meal. Add the melted butter and sugar and pulse until the cookie crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie tin.
  • Bake the crust until set and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • For the filling:
  • Cover and chill the egg whites. In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, milk, cream, egg yolks, and 1 cup of the sugar. Cook over medium heat, whisking continuously, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Do not leave the custard unattended while whisking because the egg yolks will cook and make the mixture grainy. Whisk in the butter, vanilla, and salt. Pour the custard into the baked crust and chill for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • When ready to assemble the pie, preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the egg whites and the cream of tartar. With the mixer on high speed, gradually add the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
  • Arrange the banana slices in a single layer over the custard. Top the banana slices with the vanilla wafers. Spread the meringue over the wafers, covering the entire pie.
  • Bake until the meringue is light brown all over, about 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then chill for at least 20 minutes before serving.
  • Chef's Tip: The secret to making custard pies is controlling the heat of the stove: it should be intense enough to advance the cooking process but not so hot that it scorches the custard.

BANANA CUSTARD PIE



Banana Custard Pie image

This is a really smooth and creamy custard pie with layers of bananas and you can top it with whip cream or meringue.

Provided by Nancy Allen

Categories     Pies

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 single pie crust, fully cooked (homemade is better)
2 1/4 c milk
1/2 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 c cornstarch
3 large egg yolks
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature & cut into 3 pieces
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 rip bananas
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
whipped topping or meringue

Steps:

  • 1. Make your pie crust and let it cool. Scald 2 cups of milk with the sugar and salt in a heavy medium size saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve sugar. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaing 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks.
  • 2. Whisk the egg mixture into the scalded milk. Cook, whisking constantly, over low heat until it thickens and bubbles, about 3 minutes, then cook for 1 minute more. The custard should form loose mounds when dropped from a spoon back into the pan.
  • 3. Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Tranfer the custard to a small bowl and cool for 15 minutes, gently stirring several times to allow the steam to escape. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard and take your kitchen sheers and cut 3 slits in the plastic. Cool for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • 4. While the custard is cooling, cut the bananas into 1/4-inch-thick slices and toss them with the lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.
  • 5. Spread half the cooled cutard in the pie shell and cover it with a layer of bananas, Spread the remaining custard carefully over bananas and arrange the remaining bananas on top. Spread top with whip cream or merigue. (I browned my meringue in the oven) Chill the pie for atleast 2 hours before serving.

BANANA CUSTARD PIE



Banana Custard Pie image

I love banana pie, but do not like it when the bananas turn dark and runny in the pie when it sits... I love pumpkin custard pie so I thought I would try the same concept with the bananas... the results were excellent.. this is a great pie... Note: Serve with whipped topping... and if you want to wow your family and guests...

Categories     Pies

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 medium bananas, slightly mashed
3 large eggs
2/3 c granulated sugar
1 Tbsp brown sugar
12 oz can evaporated milk
1/2 tsp vanilla or banana extract
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 deep dish unbaked pie shell

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 400^. In a large mixer bowl combine the sugars and bananas, mix slightly on low; leave some small lumps of banana.
  • 2. Add eggs, nutmeg, and extract, mix in. Slowly add milk while mixer is running, blend well. Place pie shell on cookie sheet with sides for easier handling.
  • 3. Pour filling into pie shell. Sprinkle a little nutmeg or cinnamon/sugar on top. Bake for 10 minutes; then turn heat down to 350^ and bake for 35 minutes. Check for doneness, insert knife off-center; if it comes out clean with no custard filling clinging to it the pie is done.
  • 4. Remove pie from oven and cool on wire rack until cool; then refrigerate, covered until ready to serve chill to store, covered too. Note: If you have extra filling spray an oven safe bowl and bake with the pie...a free sample, if you like...

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the pie tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes: This will help the crust to set and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Reduce the oven temperature after 15 minutes: This will help the pie to finish baking without overcooking.
  • Test the pie for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center: If the toothpick comes out clean, the pie is done.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will help the filling to set and the pie to slice cleanly.

Conclusion:

Banana custard pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy custard filling and sweet banana flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give banana custard pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
