Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Roll out your pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and set aside.
- Peel and slice your ripe bananas into 1/4-inch slices and arrange them at the bottom of the pie crust.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt until fully combined.
- Gradually add whole milk and heavy cream while whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until there are no lumps.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Continue to boil for 1 minute or until the mixture thickens.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture while whisking constantly. This helps to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
- Gradually whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Continue to whisk until fully combined.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the mixture is thick and bubbly.
- Remove from heat and add the unsalted butter pieces. Stir until the butter has melted and fully combined.
- Pour the mixture over the sliced bananas in the pie crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let cool before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure your bananas are ripe to get the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute it with half and half.
- You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the pie before baking for some added flavor.
