Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 medium Bananas, ripe but firm
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust, covering the bottom and sides evenly.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, whisk together 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.

Step 6

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and bubble. Reduce to low heat and cook for another minute.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks. Slowly whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot custard into the egg yolks to temper them.

Step 8

Return the tempered yolk mixture to the saucepan and cook for 2 more minutes over low heat, stirring constantly.

Step 9

Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract until smooth. Cover the custard with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin. Let cool slightly.

Step 10

Slice the bananas into thin rounds and arrange them evenly in the cooled pie crust.

Step 11

Pour the warm custard over the bananas, spreading it evenly. Cover the pie with plastic wrap again, pressing it onto the surface of the custard, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Step 12

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Step 13

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie.

Step 14

Slice and serve your fabulous banana cream pie! Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
