BANANA CREAM PIE

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 13

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Plum Crumb Pie
5 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, and roll out pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness. Fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Trim pastry using scissors or a sharp paring knife. Crimp or decorate edges of pastry if desired. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Carefully line pastry with parchment paper, pressing it into corners and edges, and weight with beans, rice, or aluminum or ceramic weights. Bake until pastry begins to color around edges, about 15 minutes. Remove paper and weights, and continue to bake just until pastry dries out and turns golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack. The baked shell can be stored in airtight containers or well wrapped in plastic in the freezer for up to 1 month.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Make the custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. In a medium saucepan, bring milk just to a boil. Remove from heat, and whisk about 1/2 cup of hot milk into yolk mixture. Whisk yolk mixture into saucepan of hot milk. Place over medium-high heat, and bring to a gentle boil, whisking constantly. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and whisk in butter, one piece at a time, until melted. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, and whisk until smooth. Immediately strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Place bowl of custard in ice bath to cool, stirring occasionally.
  • Peel bananas, and slice 1/4 inch thick. Add lemon juice, and toss gently to coat. Arrange in an even layer in bottom of baked piecrust. Scrape cooled custard over bananas, and smooth top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat cream on medium-low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium-high, and add confectioners' sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until soft peaks form. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (Ateco No. 32). Pipe cream over custard in large rosettes, covering it completely. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To ensure the smoothest banana cream filling, use ripe bananas and make sure to mash them thoroughly before adding them to the mixture.
  • When making the whipped cream topping, be sure to use heavy cream that is at least 35% butterfat. This will help the whipped cream to hold its shape and not become too runny.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can toast the meringue topping by placing the pie under a preheated broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • For a more intense vanilla flavor, use vanilla bean paste or extract instead of vanilla extract.
  • To save time, you can use a pre-made graham cracker crust. However, homemade crust is always better and worth the extra effort.
  • If you're short on time, you can make this pie a day ahead of time. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

Conclusion:

French Vanilla Banana Cream Pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy filling, crispy crust, and fluffy meringue topping, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this French Vanilla Banana Cream Pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
