A delightful Banana Cream Pie with a golden crust, creamy custard, and fresh bananas, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3–4 ripe bananas
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie crust according to package instructions or until it turns golden brown. Once done, let it cool completely.
  2. Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan.
  3. Mix in the milk while stirring the dry mixture.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and boils. Remove from heat.
  5. Temper the egg yolks by whisking them and gradually mixing in some hot custard.
  6. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and cook for another 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
  8. Layer sliced bananas on the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
  9. Pour the custard mixture over the bananas.
  10. Chill for at least 4 hours or until set.
  11. Top with whipped cream before serving.

Notes

For a sweeter flavor, use very ripe bananas. Don’t rush the chilling process, and add whipped cream just before serving.
