Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 cups heavy cream
• 2 large bananas (ripe)
• 0.5 cups chopped mixed nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, almonds)
• 1 cup whipped cream
• 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.

Step 5

Place the chopped semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Whisk the chocolate and cream together until smooth and glossy to create the ganache.

Step 8

Peel and slice the bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds, and arrange them in an even layer over the cooled crust.

Step 9

Pour the ganache over the bananas, spreading it evenly to cover the banana layer completely.

Step 10

Sprinkle the chopped mixed nuts over the ganache layer.

Step 11

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set and firm.

Step 12

When ready to serve, top the pie with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and additional chopped nuts if desired.

Step 13

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
