Delicious From Scratch Banana Cream Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. First things first, if you’re using a homemade pie crust, go ahead and bake it according to the recipe and let that cool down. If you’re using store-bought, make sure to pre-bake it too.
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the milk while whisking until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Once the milk mixture is thickened, slowly add about a cup of it into the egg yolks, whisking continuously. This will temper the yolks.
  5. Now, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and continue cooking for another 2 minutes while stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  6. Add the butter and vanilla to the thickened mixture and stir until melted and combined.
  7. Slice up those bananas and layer them on the bottom of your cooled pie crust. Pour that creamy filling on top and spread it evenly.
  8. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set, but honestly, overnight is best if you can wait!
  9. When you’re ready to serve, top it off with some whipped cream and maybe even a few banana slices for that extra touch.

Now that’s what I call a pie! Perfect for family gatherings, potlucks, or just a special treat for yourself. Enjoy every creamy, banana-filled bite!
