BANANA CREAM PIE

Makes 1 (9-inch) pie

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
⅓ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 ¾ cups whole milk
½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup granulated sugar
4 large egg yolks
¼ cup cornstarch
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 ripe bananas, sliced
Brown Sugar Whipped Cream (recipe follows)
Garnish: vanilla wafers, banana slices
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together crushed wafers, brown sugar, melted butter, and ½ teaspoon salt until well combined. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • In a medium saucepan, cook milk, cream, granulated sugar, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, just until bubbles form around sides of pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly whisk one-fourth of hot milk mixture into eggs. Whisk egg mixture into remaining milk mixture in saucepan, and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick, about 3 minutes. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, discarding solids. Whisk in vanilla and softened butter until melted and smooth. Cover with plastic wrap, and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Arrange banana slices in bottom of crust. Stir custard, and gently spread onto bananas. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly on surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving or up to overnight. Top with Brown Sugar Whipped Cream just before serving. Garnish with vanilla wafers and banana, if desired.
  • In a large bowl, beat all ingredients with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Use immediately.

How to Thaw Cool-Whip Whipped Topping: The best way to thaw frozen COOL WHIP Topping is in its container in the refrigerator. Depending on the size of the tub you have, the thawing time varies. Recommended thawing times are: 8-oz. tub-4 hours; 12-oz. tub-5 hours; 16-oz. tub-6 hours. We DO NOT recommend thawing COOL WHIP Topping in the microwave.

  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help create a golden brown crust.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
