Banana Cream Pie Recipe With Sweetened Condensed Milk
Banana cream pie is a classic dessert that brings joy to many. It's creamy, flavorful, and easy to make. In this article, we'll share a delicious recipe for banana cream pie using sweetened condensed milk that will impress your family and friends.
Ingredients:
- 1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked and cooled
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- Whipped cream, for topping
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds. Arrange them in the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk until smooth.
4. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and vanilla extract together. Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the yolks. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking continuously.
5. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
6. Pour the mixture over the banana slices in the pie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until set.
7. When ready to serve, pipe or spread whipped cream on top of the pie. Enjoy!
Tips:
- To prevent the bananas from turning brown, brush them with lemon juice before adding them to the pie crust.
- For an extra creamy texture, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don't have a pre-made pie crust, you can make your own by combining 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (cold and cubed), and 1/4 cup of ice water in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand, then press it into a pie dish and bake for 12-15 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
