Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pie Crust Baked
  • 3 Cups Milk I Used Skim
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • ⅓ Cup Flour
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 3 Bananas Sliced
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Begin by placing the pie crust into your baking dish. Bake blind for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden. Allow to cool completely whilst making the remaining ingredients.
  • Measure the milk and heat it in a small saucepan until just before boiling.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine dry ingredients. Gradually stir in the hot milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Gradually add some hot mixture to the eggs, stirring until smooth. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan, cook for 1 minute while stirring, then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and butter, and let cool to lukewarm.
  • While the filling cools, whip 8 oz of heavy cream in a stand mixer or by hand until soft peaks form. Add sugar (or powdered sugar) to taste.
  • Slice the bananas and place them in the baked pie crust.
  • Pour the cooled filling over the bananas and top with whipped cream. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Prevent Soggy Crust: If you’re assembling in advance, lightly brush the crust with melted chocolate to create a barrier between the filling and the crust.
Even Banana Slices: Slice bananas evenly and layer them carefully to ensure every slice of pie has a consistent texture and flavor.
Avoid Skin Formation: When cooling the filling, cover it with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
