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.

Time 1h

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups whole milk

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons dark rum
4 medium bananas, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 chocolate crumb crust (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Whisk in 2/3 cup of sugar, the flour and the salt. Scald the milk in a medium saucepan. Whisking constantly, add the milk to the egg mixture. Pour the mixture back into the pan, place over medium heat and keep stirring until it comes to a boil, about 8 minutes.

  • Arrange half of the bananas in a single layer in the pie shell. Cover with half of the custard. Dab half of the chocolate mixture, by spoonfuls, over the custard. Use a butter knife to swirl the chocolate into the custard. Top with another layer of bananas. Cover with the remaining custard and swirl the other half of the chocolate into it.
  • Whip 1 cup of cream to soft peaks. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla and whip until cream just holds a firm peak. Spread the whipped cream over the pie.
  • Warm the reserved chocolate if necessary to get a pourable consistency. Drizzle or pipe the chocolate over the whipped cream. Refrigerate for several hours before cutting.
