Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for custard)
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest or 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Press into a pie dish and chill in the refrigerator.
  2. In a saucepan, whisk eggs, milk, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  3. Spread half of the custard into the chilled crust. Layer banana slices evenly over it. Add the remaining custard to cover bananas.
  4. Arrange sliced strawberries over the top. Optionally brush with warmed apricot jam or glaze for shine.
  5. Chill the pie for at least 2–3 hours until set.
  6. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Optionally add a splash of vanilla.
  7. Before serving, top pie with whipped cream and garnish with strawberries or banana chips.

Notes

  • Use a hot knife for cleaner slices.
  • Brush banana slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Store covered in the fridge; add whipped cream fresh for best results.
  • Custard can be prepared a day ahead.
