Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until crumbly and evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake the Crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Pudding Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pudding Base

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.

  2. 4

    Incorporate Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot pudding mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Then, pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan.

  3. 5

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the vanilla extract and continue to cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

  4. 6

    Layer with Bananas

    Slice the ripe bananas and layer them into the cooled crust. Pour the pudding mixture over the bananas, spreading it evenly.

Whipped Cream Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Whipped Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip until soft peaks form.

  2. 8

    Top the Pie

    Spread the whipped cream evenly over the pudding layer. Use a spatula to create swirls for decoration.

Garnishing

  1. 9

    Add Final Touches

    Garnish the pie with sliced bananas and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
