Categories     dessert

Time 7h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10 to 12 crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
5 extra-large egg yolks
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups whole milk, scalded
7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
2 large bananas, sliced
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Milk chocolate, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into an 11-inch false-bottom tart pan, making sure the sides and the bottom of the crust are an even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool completely.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the scalded milk until the mixture is combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a large saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is very thick. Off the heat, add the chocolate, butter, coffee liqueur and coffee powder and stir until the chocolate is melted. Pour the filling into the cooled tart pan and smooth the top. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the chocolate filling and chill for 6 hours.
  • When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap from the chocolate and arrange the banana slices in concentric circles on top of the filling.
  • Place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat until the cream forms firm peaks. Spoon the whipped cream on top of the bananas and gently spread the cream with a spatula to cover the pie, leaving a border of bananas visible at the outside edge. For a garnish, shave curls of milk chocolate on top of the whipped cream. Remove the pie from the pan, place it on a cake plate and serve.

GRAHAM CRACKER BANANA TREAT



Graham Cracker Banana Treat image

These quick and easy treats have been around for at least fifty years, my Grandma would always make them for us, and they never lasted long. I remember having to wait till they got soft enough to eat..they are better a few hours after making, as the crackers soften...oh so good, I started making them for my own kids and they love...

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: Use ripe bananas with yellow peels and brown spots for the best flavor and texture.
  • Finely crush the graham crackers: Use a food processor or rolling pin to finely crush the graham crackers to ensure a smooth and even crust.
  • Use good-quality chocolate chips: Opt for semisweet or dark chocolate chips for a rich and indulgent flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This helps the cake to set and prevents the frosting from melting.
  • Use a thick and creamy frosting: Cream cheese frosting or whipped cream frosting are both excellent choices for this cake.
  • Decorate the cake with additional chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, or sliced bananas: This adds a touch of extra flavor and visual appeal.

Conclusion:

This banana chocolate graham cracker dessert is a decadent and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy frosting, and crunchy graham cracker crust, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
