DECONSTRUCTED BANANAS FOSTER CREAM PIE
This is a delicious dessert that will impress you friends and family, perfect for a dessert party or any time you want a special ending to your meal. It looks complicated but all of the steps are fast and easy to make and end result is well worth the effort. You can make the pie crust squares, easy pastry cream, toasted pecans and praline sauce earlier in the day, make the whipped cream an hour or so before serving, and quickly saute the bananas at the last minute. This is a variation of my Deconstructed Banana Cream Pie (234854) I love cream pie but don't like how the slices ooze and look less attractive after you cut them, and if you have leftovers the crust gets soggy. This method avoids both of these problems. Prep time does not include making the pie crust.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- PIE CRUST: Make your favorite pie crust, roll dough as you normally would but roll into a rectangular shape, cut six 3 1/2" - 4" squares and at least 18 - 1 1/3" squares (sizes are approximate they are prettier if you have a crimped cutter for the small squares I have a cookie cutter this size). Place squares on baking sheet, sprinkle the small squares with a little cinnamon sugar, bake about 10 minutes or until golden on the bottom. Once cool store in airtight container until ready to serve.
- PASTRY CREAM: Make filling according to the directions on the box for pie filling, using half and half in place of milk, add vanilla; stir, chill until ready to serve. Place plastic wrap over the pastry cream touching it so a skin doesn't form, before chilling.
- WHIPPED CREAM: Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla, adjust amounts to your taste, chill.
- PRALINE SAUCE.
- Melt butter over medium heat in a small pan. Stir in brown sugar and cream. Cook and stir until isauce reaches a full boil.
- Reduce heat and boil gently for three minutes stirring occasionally. Stir in vanilla and cool. Makes around 1/3 cup . Delicious on ice cream too or almost anything else! Making ahead chill and gently reheat (microwave 5 seconds at a time until drizzle consistency).
- PUTTING IT TOGETHER:
- Place a large pastry square on each dessert plate, spoon on some pastry cream - if using all six at once divide evenly.
- Place 3-4 banana slices on top of each square, top with whipping cream.
- Drizzle with Praline Sauce and chopped pecans, place one or more small cinnamon pastry squares into the cream point down . TA DAH! Fast and beautiful!

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pie will be.
- Don't overcook the bananas: When sautéing the bananas for the filling, cook them just until they are softened and caramelized. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Use a good-quality vanilla extract: The vanilla extract is one of the key flavorings in this pie, so be sure to use a good-quality extract.
- Chill the pie before serving: This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.

Bananas Foster Cream Pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy filling, caramelized bananas, and flaky crust are all perfectly balanced and come together to create a truly unforgettable pie. If you are looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, this is the pie for you!
