Best Banana Cream Pie Recipe

banana cream pie recipe It such a quick and easy recipe and my family loved it!

Banana cream pudding very easy recipe and tasty. I added vanilla to my mix. Next time I will either add a little less milk or a little less whipped cream to make the custard a bit thicker.

This was quick and easy. I made two pies and they turned out great for my husband’s birthday. Much healthier than cake. I added some shaved almonds for a little crunch.

How To Make easy banana cream pie recipe

To make this recipe you'll need the following ingredients:

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 large firm bananas

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 cups 2% milk

2 large eggs, lightly beaten, room temperature

1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Dough for single-crust pie

1 cup sugar

Instructions:

Follow these directions to prepare this easy banana cream pie recipe:

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond the rim of plate; flute edge. 

Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°.

Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until the edge is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. 

Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.

In a large saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, and milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. 

Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into eggs; return all to the pan. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.

Remove from heat. Gently stir in butter and vanilla. Press plastic wrap onto the surface of custard; refrigerate, covered, 30 minutes.

Spread half of the custard into crust. Slice bananas; arrange to overfill. Pour remaining custard over bananas. Spread with whipped cream. Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
