Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baked pie crust
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg yolks beaten
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 bananas sliced, plus more for topping
- 1/2 cup whipped cream or store-bought whipped topping
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan off of heat, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Then whisk in the egg yolks and the milk.
- Place over medium heat and stir consistently until it is boiling and thickened, about 10 minutes. Once it starts to boil and you see big bubbles, let it boil, while stirring, for 1 minute.
- Stir in the butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the sliced banana to the bottom of the baked pie crust. Pour the pudding mixture over the bananas. Depending on the size of your bananas, you may not use all of the pudding. Put the pie in the refrigerator to cool for 4 hours.
- Make whipped cream before serving and pipe around the edges of the pie. Add some banana slices. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure the pie crust is completely baked and cooled before adding the filling.
You can use store-bought whipped topping for convenience.
For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the filling.
