Number Of Ingredients 13

1 deep dish 9 inch pie shell, baked
3/4 c sugar, divided
1/4 c corn starch
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
2 egg yolks
2 1/2 c milk
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
3-4 bananas
1/2 c coconut, toasted
1 c whipping cream
1/4 c powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Bake pie shell, according to directions on package or make your own from scratch. Allow to cool. Set Aside.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 c sugar, corn starch and salt. Add egg and yolks and whisk or mix with hand mixer until smooth.
  • 3. In a medium saucepan, add milk and remaining 1/4 c sugar and heat just until it starts to boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and drizzle into egg mixture slowly while whisking briskly, when you have added about half the milk, stop and start pouring egg mixture back into pan whisking constantly, return to heat and whisk until thick. Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla, whisking it until smooth and creamy.
  • 4. Quickly slice 2-3 bananas (2 if large, 3 if small) into pie shell, pour pudding over top of bananas. (Or you can stir the slices into pudding as well) Place in refrigerator to cool for at least an hour.
  • 5. Toast coconut, place on a parchment or foil lined baking sheet, and bake for 4-7 minutes at 350. Stirring half way through. Ovens vary a lot, so watch closely.
  • 6. Whip cream with powdered sugar until peaks form. Spread over top of cooled pie, sprinkle with toasted coconut and place banana slices around edge of pie if desired. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
  • Don't overcook the custard: The custard should be thick and creamy, but not curdled. If you overcook it, it will become grainy and rubbery.
  • Chill the pie before serving: This will help the custard to set and the pie to firm up.
  • Garnish with whipped cream or banana slices: This will add a touch of elegance and extra flavor to your pie.

Conclusion:

Banana cream pie is a classic dessert that is both delicious and easy to make. With its creamy custard filling, sweet banana slices, and flaky crust, it's a surefire hit with people of all ages. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or just a weeknight treat, this pie is sure to please.
