How To Make delicious banana cream pie

Step 1

Prepare a 9 inch pie crust or Graham cracker crust. Graham Cracker Crust: 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (18 crackers) 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted Heat oven to 350º F. In a small mixing bowl, combine cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. Press crumbs firmly against the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Cool.

Step 2

In a medium sauce pan, combine sugar, corn starch, and salt.
Step 3

Over medium heat, gradually whisk in milk. Stir constantly until filling becomes thick and reaches a boil. Boil filling for 1 minute.
Step 4

Gradually add egg yolks. Continue to whisk filling mixture constantly while bringing to a boil again. Boil for 1 minute.
Step 5

Remove filling mixture from heat, blend in butter and vanilla.
Step 6

Place 1 layer of sliced bananas in the bottom of cooled pie crust.
Step 7

Then, pour filling into pie crust. If desired, garnish with additional bananas and whipped topping. Keep chilled until ready to serve. Other ideas I have used with this pie. Drizzle a layer chocolate ganache on crust before layer of banana's. I have also drizzled chocolate ice cream topping on the top of the pie, over the banana's and whipped topping.

Enjoy!
