Ingredients

For the Pie

1 baked 9-inch pie crust

3 ripe bananas, sliced

For the Vanilla Filling

2 cups whole milk

½ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup cornstarch

¼ teaspoon salt

3 egg yolks

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

1½ cups heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Banana slices for garnish

White chocolate shavings (optional)


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.


Step 2: Add the Egg Yolks

Whisk a little of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, then slowly pour the yolks back into the saucepan. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.


Step 3: Assemble the Pie

Arrange the sliced bananas evenly in the baked pie crust. Pour the warm vanilla filling over the bananas and smooth the top.


Step 4: Chill

Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely set.


Step 5: Add the Topping

Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Garnish with fresh banana slices and white chocolate shavings if desired.


Tips for the Best Banana Cream Pie

Use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture.

Chill the pie completely before serving for clean slices.

Add a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flavor.

Keep leftover pie refrigerated for up to 3 days.
