BANANA CREAM PIE

This recipe is for my husband because he LOVES cream pie. Especially banana cream pie. (Although coconut cream pie is a close second.) I can usually pass up cream pies, but he is a crazy pudding lover…and when cream pies show up at family gatherings baked by his aunt who is a fantastic cook, he’s so excited. I thought it was time I made him a few cream pies
Although we prefer our favorite homemade baked crust for banana cream pie (find our recipe here), there are several different things you could do.

Ingredients

• 9" pre-baked pie crust
• 3 large bananas, sliced (two for the bottom of the pie and one for garnishing the top)

For the filling:

• 2 ¼ cups milk (divided)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 large egg yolks (beaten)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or banana flavoring)

For the Topping:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (or banana flavoring)

Instructions

1. Using a double boiler, heat 1 ¾ cup milk to boiling over medium heat.
2. While the milk is heating, mix together the sugar, salt, cornstarch, and flour. Add the remaining ½ cup of milk and whisk until smooth.
3. Drizzle the milk/sugar mixture into the hot milk, whisking as you drizzle it in.
