BLACK BOTTOM BANANA CREAM PIE (RACHAELL RAY) RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Black Bottom Banana Cream Pie (Rachaell Ray) Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by Traceylu-2

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 boxes (5.3 oz. each) all-butter shortbread cookies broken
1/4 tsp. salt
5 tbsp. unsalted butter,
3 tbsp. melted and 2 tbsp. cold
3 oz. bittersweet chocolate (60% to 70% cacao), in 3 hunks
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 large egg yolks
1 tbsp. amber rum
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 large bananas
1 tbsp. confectioners sugar

Steps:

  • 1.Using a food processor, mix the shortbread with a pinch salt; process in long pulses until finely ground and beginning to stick to the sides. Add the melted butter and pulse just until incorporated. Transfer the crumbs to a 9-inch pie plate and press evenly into the bottom and up the sides. Freeze the pie shell. 2.Place 2 oz. chocolate in a small bowl and set aside. In a heavy saucepan, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch and remaining salt. Whisk in the egg yolks over medium-high heat until the custard boils and is very thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, measure out 1/2 cup of the hot custard and add to the bowl of chocolate; let sit for a minute (the chocolate will melt by itself). Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 tbsp. (cold) butter into the custard in the saucepan. Stir in the rum and transfer the rum custard to a heatproof bowl. Refrigerate until well chilled, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours. 3.Meanwhile, stir the chocolate custard, then stir in 1 tbsp. cream and the vanilla. Remove the pie shell from the freezer and spread the chocolate custard across the bottom. Refrigerate to firm up. 4.Working over the pie shell, cut the bananas into 1/4-inch thick slices, letting them fall to cover the bottom. Spoon the rum custard over the bananas, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for 2 hours to set. 5.Whip the remaining cream with the confectioners' sugar until it forms soft peaks. Spread on top of the rum custard and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or until serving time. 6. Just before serving, using a vegetable peeler, shave curls off the remaining 1 oz. chocolate onto the top of the pie.

Tips:

  • For the perfect pie crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and butter. The butter should be cold and cut into small pieces before mixing it into the flour. This will create a flaky crust.
  • When making the banana cream filling, be sure to use ripe bananas. This will give the filling a rich, creamy flavor.
  • To prevent the banana cream filling from curdling, add the eggs one at a time, whisking constantly.
  • For a smooth and creamy filling, strain the banana cream filling before pouring it into the pie crust.
  • To create a beautiful black bottom, use a combination of chocolate graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pie crust and chill it before adding the banana cream filling.
  • Before serving, chill the pie for at least 4 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.

Conclusion:

This black bottom banana cream pie is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy banana filling, chocolate graham cracker crust, and fluffy whipped cream topping, this pie is sure to be a hit. Follow these tips to make the perfect pie every time.
