Banana Cream Pie

Ingredients

• •2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• •6 tablespoons melted butter
• •2 tablespoons sugar
• •2 cups whole milk
• •3/4 cup sugar
• •3 tablespoons cornstarch
• •1/4 teaspoon salt
• •4 egg yolks
• •2 tablespoons butter
• •2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• •4 ripe bananas
• •2 cups whipped cream

Directions

1. 1Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and 2 tablespoons sugar, press into a 9-inch pie dish, and bake at 350°F for 8 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
2. 2Combine milk, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan; heat over medium, stirring constantly until thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
3. 3Whisk egg yolks in a bowl, slowly add hot mixture while whisking, then return to saucepan and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.
4. 4Pour custard into cooled crust and refrigerate for 1 hour until set.
5. 5Slice bananas and arrange over custard filling.
6. 6Top with whipped cream and serve chilled, or refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.

💡 Banana cream pie should be assembled with fully cooled custard; warm filling softens the crust and can make the banana layer weep.
