Banana Cream Pie Recipe

 

Ingredients:

  • For the Crust:
    • 200 grams of digestive biscuits (or any plain biscuits)
    • 1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Filling:
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/3 cup cornstarch
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 4 cups whole milk
    • 4 large egg yolks
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • For the Topping:
    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Grated chocolate (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
    • In a medium bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated.
    • Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even layer.
    • Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
    • Gradually add the milk, whisking until smooth.
    • Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
    • Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture, whisking to combine.
    • Return the saucepan to the heat and cook for an additional 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
    • Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
    • Let the filling cool slightly.
  3. Assemble the Pie:
    • Arrange a layer of sliced bananas over the cooled crust.
    • Pour half of the cream filling over the bananas.
    • Add another layer of sliced bananas and top with the remaining cream filling.
    • Smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Prepare the Topping:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
    • Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the pie.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Garnish the pie with grated chocolate, if desired.
    • Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
