BANANA CARAMEL CHOCOLATE PIE

Categories     Food Processor     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Freeze/Chill     Kid-Friendly     Banana     Walnut     Spring     Chill     Gourmet     Small Plates

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

For shell
ten 5- by 2 1/2-inch graham crackers
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted lightly
1/4 granulated sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 2/3 cups chilled heavy cream
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
4 firm-ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Garnish: a 3-ounce bar fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened) at room temperature, shaved with a vegetable peeler into curls and chilled, covered loosely

Steps:

  • Make shell:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Into a food processor crumble graham crackers and grind to fine crumbs (you should have about 1 1/3 cups crumbs). Add walnuts, sugar, butter, and salt and pulse motor until nuts are finely chopped. Press crumb mixture evenly onto bottom and side of a glass 10- by 2-inch deep dish pie plate and bake in middle of oven 8 minutes. Cool shell in plate on rack.
  • In a dry heavy 3-quart saucepan cook granulated sugar over moderate heat, stirring with fork, until melted and cook without stirring, swirling pan, until a golden caramel. Add corn syrup and boil over moderate heat, stirring until combined well. Add 2/3 cup cream (caramel will steam and harden) and boil, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 210°F. Stir cornstarch mixture and stir into caramel. Boil caramel, stirring constantly, 1 minute and remove pan from heat. When caramel stops bubbling, stir in vanilla and pour into shell. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over hot caramel and cool completely. Pie may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Peel bananas and slice thin. Arrange bananas evenly over chocolate layer. In a bowl beat remaining cup cream until thickened and beat in confectioners' sugar. Beat cream until it holds stiff peaks and spread over bananas.
  • Sprinkle chocolate curls over pie and chill, uncovered, in freezer 30 minutes, so pie can be cut easily.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Opt for real butter, pure vanilla extract, and semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before using it. This will ensure that it blends smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the heavy cream. If you do, it will become grainy and the ice cream will be icy.
  • Chill the ice cream pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
  • When slicing the pie, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean after each slice. This will prevent the pie from becoming messy.
