CHOCOLATE BANANA CREAM PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 7h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10 to 12 crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
5 extra-large egg yolks
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups whole milk, scalded
7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
2 large bananas, sliced
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Milk chocolate, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into an 11-inch false-bottom tart pan, making sure the sides and the bottom of the crust are an even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool completely.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the scalded milk until the mixture is combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a large saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is very thick. Off the heat, add the chocolate, butter, coffee liqueur and coffee powder and stir until the chocolate is melted. Pour the filling into the cooled tart pan and smooth the top. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the chocolate filling and chill for 6 hours.
  • When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap from the chocolate and arrange the banana slices in concentric circles on top of the filling.
  • Place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat until the cream forms firm peaks. Spoon the whipped cream on top of the bananas and gently spread the cream with a spatula to cover the pie, leaving a border of bananas visible at the outside edge. For a garnish, shave curls of milk chocolate on top of the whipped cream. Remove the pie from the pan, place it on a cake plate and serve.

CREAM PIE (CHOCOLATE, COCONUT, AND BANANA VARIATIONS)



Cream Pie (Chocolate, Coconut, and Banana Variations) image

Hands down, the BEST cream pie recipe I've ever tasted! It was passed down from my mom, who got it from a neighbour while living briefly in Los Angeles way back in 1969. The chocolate variation has been the universal birthday 'cake' in my family for almost as long as I can remember. I've adapted it to be more microwave friendly and even less time-consuming than the original. (Cooking time is cooling time) In case you don't have a microwave or just want to try this on the stovetop, see my cousin CrystalB's Recipe#108268 for the method.

Categories     Pie

Time 2h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 eggs or 3 egg whites
1 tablespoon margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (9 inch) pie crusts, pre-baked

Steps:

  • In a microwavable bowl, mix sugar, flour, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk milk and eggs or egg whites. Add to dry ingredients.
  • Microwave for two minutes and stir.
  • Return to microwave for one minute intervals, stirring in between, until custard starts to cook. (3 or 4 more minutes. I generally quit cooking after a 1-inch ring of cooked custard forms around the edge of the bowl.).
  • Remove from microwave and add margarine and vanilla.
  • Cool slightly and pour into pie crust. Cover with wax paper and refrigerate 2 hours before serving.
  • *Chocolate Cream Pie: Add 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with margarine and vanilla and mix until chips are completely melted. Pour into crust.
  • *Banana Cream Pie: Slice 2 or 3 bananas into bottom of pie crust before pouring pie filling over top.
  • *Coconut Cream Pie: Add 1/2 cup coconut with margarine and vanilla and pour into pie crust.
  • Serve with whipping cream and garnishes of your choice.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder: This will give your pie a rich chocolate flavor without being too sweet.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the pie tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set: The pie is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

This creamy chocolate banana pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
