Banana Cream Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Fresh banana slices (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by pre-baking your pie crust according to the package instructions. Allow it to cool completely while you prepare the filling.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in the milk gradually, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Once the mixture in the saucepan is bubbling, slowly pour about a cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, whisking continuously to temper them.
  5. Return this egg mixture to the saucepan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Slice the bananas and place a layer at the bottom of the cooled pie crust. Pour the vanilla pudding mixture over the bananas.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  8. Before serving, top with whipped cream and additional banana slices for decoration. Enjoy!
