Banana Cream Pie Recipe

One of my dad's favorite desserts is banana cream pie.  This year for his birthday, I decided to try and make it for him, homemade!







Ingredients:

3/4 cup white sugar

3 tbs cornstarch

1/4 tsp. salt

2 cups whole milk

3 egg yolks, beaten

2 tbs. butter

1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked (see recipe below for graham cracker crust)

4 bananas, sliced

1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted



Directions:

1.In a saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Add milk in gradually while stirring gently. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbly. Keep stirring and cook for about 2 more minutes, and then remove from the burner.





2.Stir a small quantity of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks, and immediately add egg yolk mixture to the rest of the hot mixture. Cook for 2 more minutes; remember to keep stirring. Remove the mixture from the stove, and add butter and vanilla. Stir until the whole thing has a smooth consistency.



3. Pour melted chocolate over the cooled pie crust. Slice bananas on top of the melted chocolate layer. Top with pudding mixture.

4.Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes. Chill and add sliced bananas on top to decorate!
