Banana Cream Pie

Banana Cream Pie

Banana Cream Pie is a rich, creamy dessert with a buttery crust, fresh banana slices, and fluffy whipped cream.

  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • Pie Crust: 1 (9-inch, pre-baked or store-bought)
  • Whole Milk: 2 cups
  • Granulated Sugar: 3/4 cup
  • Egg Yolks: 3 large
  • Cornstarch: 1/4 cup
  • Salt: 1/4 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp
  • Bananas: 3 medium
  • Whipped Cream: 1 cup (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F if you’re baking your crust.
  2. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly whisk in milk and cook over medium heat until thickened.
  3. Prepare your pie crust by baking it until golden, then let it cool.
  4. Layer the sliced bananas in the pie crust. Pour the cooled custard over the bananas, then top with whipped cream.
  5. Chill the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly.
  6. Garnish with extra banana slices and whipped cream before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to let the custard cool slightly before adding the bananas to avoid mushy fruit.
  • For a richer custard, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
