Method

For the Banana Cream Filling

1

Prepare the Banana Cream Base

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until well combined.

2

Heat the Mixture

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and bubbles. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

3

Whisk in Egg Yolks

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Once the milk mixture is thickened, gradually pour about a cup of it into the egg yolks while whisking continuously to temper them.

4

Combine Mixtures

Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it thickens further.

5

Add Flavorings

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until smooth. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.

6

Incorporate Bananas

Slice two of the ripe bananas and fold them gently into the cream filling. Set aside.

For the Whipped Topping

7

Whip the Cream

In a mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

For Assembly

8

Layer the Ingredients

Pour the banana cream filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

9

Add Banana Slices

Arrange the sliced bananas on top of the banana cream filling.

10

Top with Whipped Cream

Spread the whipped cream topping evenly over the bananas, ensuring to cover them completely.

11

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the banana cream pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set. Slice and enjoy!
