Ingredients

• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• 1 medium Banana slices (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk to create a smooth mixture.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly temper the yolks by adding a small amount of the hot milk mixture while whisking constantly.

Step 5

Pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan and cook on low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens further (around 2-3 minutes). Be careful not to let it boil.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into a large glass or ceramic serving dish (or individual ramekins if preferred). Let it cool slightly, then press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 8

Refrigerate the banana cream mixture for at least 3 hours, or until fully chilled and set.

Step 9

Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with banana slices if desired.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy!
