Time 4h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 24 graham crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg yolks, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
2 cups sliced bananas (about 2 bananas)
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 cup toasted coconut chips, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a 9-inch pie plate with butter to grease.
  • In a medium bowl, stir to combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt, then press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, 12 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the pie: Whisk the granulated sugar and flour together in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Whisk in the milk, coconut milk, condensed milk, coconut extract and vanilla extract. Whisking occasionally, bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then temper the egg yolks: carefully remove a cup of the hot milk mixture and whisk in the beaten eggs yolks. Add the yolk mixture to the milk and then add the butter. Remove from the heat and fold in the bananas, then transfer the pie filling to the cooled graham cracker crust.
  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap, placing the wrap directly onto the surface of the filling. Chill until completely set, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Whip the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form, then spoon the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Garnish with toasted coconut chips and slice to serve.

I've enjoyed this delicious pie for as long as I remember. If not at local restaurants, gram or my aunt made them. For this pie, the homemade crust is best! Enjoy!

Provided by Cassie *

Categories     Pies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

CRUST
1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
7 Tbsp butter, melted
1/4 c brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp cinnamon
CREAM FILLING
4 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 1/4 c milk
1 c heavy cream
1 c sugar
1/4 c corn starch
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • 1. For crust: Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Melt butter, add to crumbs, sugar and cinnamon. Mix until thoroughly blended. Press into a 9 inch or 9 1/2 inch pie plate ( which is what I used ) I use a cup to press on the bottom and my fingers to press sides firmly.
  • 2. Bake for 10 minutes and then cool completely.
  • 3. While crust cools, make filling. In a medium saucepan, over med heat, whisk together, yolks, sugar, milk, cream, vanilla, butter and salt. Whisk constantly until thickens. Lower heat and continue cooking for another seven minutes.
  • 4. Pour into prepared crust. Cover filling with plastic wrap, so the top of pudding doesn't form a skin. Chill several hours or until set enough to cut.
  • 5. I run about an inch of hot water in sink and set cold pie in the water, holding around edges for a few seconds to make easier to cut and remove crumb crust easily. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs!

Tips:

  • Prepare the crust in advance: To ensure that the crust has enough time to chill and set, prepare it at least 30 minutes before you start making the filling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your pie. Use fresh, ripe fruit for the filling and high-quality cream for the whipped cream.
  • Don't overbeat the whipped cream: Overbeaten whipped cream will become stiff and grainy. Beat it just until it holds soft peaks.
  • Chill the pie before serving: This will help the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

With its creamy, tangy filling, buttery graham cracker crust, and fluffy whipped cream topping, this pie is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a casual get-together, this pie is sure to be a hit.
