Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baked pie crust
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg yolks beaten
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 bananas sliced, plus more for topping
- 1/2 cup whipped cream or store-bought whipped topping
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan off heat, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in the beaten egg yolks and milk.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring consistently until boiling and thickened, about 10 minutes. Let boil for 1 minute once it starts bubbling, until it coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Layer the sliced bananas in the baked pie crust. Pour the pudding mixture over the bananas. You may not use all of the pudding depending on banana size. Refrigerate the pie for 4 hours to cool.
- Make whipped cream before serving, piping it around the edges of the pie and adding banana slices on top. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure the pie crust is fully baked before filling it with the pudding for best results.
This pie is best enjoyed chilled, so plan ahead for the cooling time.
Use ripe bananas for the best flavor.
