Time 1h

Yield About 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 eggs
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups whole milk
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons dark rum
4 medium bananas, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 chocolate crumb crust (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Whisk in 2/3 cup of sugar, the flour and the salt. Scald the milk in a medium saucepan. Whisking constantly, add the milk to the egg mixture. Pour the mixture back into the pan, place over medium heat and keep stirring until it comes to a boil, about 8 minutes.
  • Scrape the mixture into a bowl and stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla and the butter. Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the custard and refrigerate or place over a bowl of ice until cold.
  • Put the chocolate and 1/2 cup of cream in a double boiler over hot but not simmering water. Stir often until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the rum. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the mixture.
  • Arrange half of the bananas in a single layer in the pie shell. Cover with half of the custard. Dab half of the chocolate mixture, by spoonfuls, over the custard. Use a butter knife to swirl the chocolate into the custard. Top with another layer of bananas. Cover with the remaining custard and swirl the other half of the chocolate into it.
  • Whip 1 cup of cream to soft peaks. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla and whip until cream just holds a firm peak. Spread the whipped cream over the pie.
  • Warm the reserved chocolate if necessary to get a pourable consistency. Drizzle or pipe the chocolate over the whipped cream. Refrigerate for several hours before cutting.

This pie was a disaster! The chocolate swirl didn't swirl, the banana cream filling was lumpy, and the crust was soggy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this pie again.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. The chocolate swirl was a bit overpowering, and the banana cream filling was a bit too rich. The crust was also a bit too thick and dry. Overall, I wasn't really impressed with this pie.
