A classic Banana Cream Pie featuring a buttery crust, fresh banana slices, and a silky vanilla custard topped with fluffy whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (or graham cracker crust)
  • 3 large bananas, sliced
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped cream (for topping)
  • Optional: extra banana slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Arrange sliced bananas evenly in the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.
  2. In a saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch. Slowly add milk and heavy cream while whisking.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Temper the yolks by adding a small amount of hot custard, whisking constantly.
  5. Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan and cook for 2 more minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract.
  7. Pour warm custard over the banana slices in the pie crust. Smooth the top.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
  9. Top with whipped cream and garnish with extra banana slices before serving.

Notes

  • Brush banana slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Use a graham cracker crust for a sweeter, softer pie.
  • Let the custard cool slightly before pouring to avoid soggy bananas.
  • Add toasted coconut on top for extra flavor.
