Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a measuring cup for even pressing.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the whole milk, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble.
Remove the saucepan from heat. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually temper the yolks by whisking in a few tablespoons of the hot milk mixture. Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
Return the saucepan to low heat and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fully thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Let the custard cool slightly and cover it with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface (to prevent a skin from forming). Refrigerate until the custard is fully chilled, about 2 hours.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Arrange an even layer of banana slices over the cooled crust.
Spread the chilled custard evenly over the bananas, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 additional hours to set.
In a cold mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Optionally, garnish with additional banana slices or graham cracker crumbs.
Slice and serve Peg's Banana Cream Supreme Pie chilled. Enjoy!
