Ingredients
CRUST¹
65 vanilla wafer cookies
3 Tablespoons brown sugar firmly packed
7 Tablespoons salted butter melted
BANANA CREAM PIE FILLING
3/4 cup granulated sugar 150g
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups milk 355ml
1 1/2 cups heavy cream 355ml
3 Tablespoons butter cut into pieces (softened)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 bananas
1/4 cup lemon or lime juice
HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM
3/4 cup heavy cream very cold (175ml)
1/4 cup powdered sugar 30g
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
CRUST
00:34 Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
00:40 Place wafer cookies in the basin of a food processor and pulse until mixture is nothing but crumbs²
00:49 Add brown sugar and pulse until combined.
00:58 Add crumbs to melted butter (in a medium/large bowl) and stir until mixture is evenly combined and crumbs are moistened.
01:11 Transfer crumbs to a 9 ½” pie plate and use the clean bottom of a measuring cup to tamp crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate to form the crust.
01:34 Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for 13 minutes. Prepare your banana cream pie filling while your pie crust cools completely.
01:45 Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium-sized, heavy duty saucepan until combined.
02:07 Add egg yolks, milk, and heavy cream and whisk until all ingredients are combined.
02:25 Place saucepan over medium heat and use a whisk to stir constantly until the mixture comes to a simmer/begins to bubble (this can take 10 minutes or so).
02:37 Once simmering, continue to whisk constantly and allow to bubble for 1 minute. Once 1 minute has passed, immediately remove from heat and add butter, 1 Tbsp at a time, whisking until melted and combined after each addition.
03:20 Whisk in vanilla extract.
03:28 Pour banana cream pie filling through a fine mesh strainer into a large heatproof bowl. Cover surface with plastic wrap (make sure the plastic wrap is covering the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming) and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
04:10 Slice 2 bananas and dip each slice in lemon or lime juice. Gently pat dry.
05:00 Once cooled, pour half of pudding mixture into your prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
05:18 Place bananas in an even layer over the first layer of pudding. Top banana slices with remaining pudding and smooth with spatula.
05:32 Cover the surface of the pie with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator. Chill at least several hours.
6:00 Once you are ready to serve (or several hour before serving), prepare whipped cream. Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl (preferably a metal bowl that you’ve chilled in the refrigerator or freezer for 10 minutes) and use an electric mixer to beat until stiff peaks form³.
06:10 Dollop or pipe⁴ whipped cream over chilled pie and slice and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
¹I like using this vanilla wafer crust to make banana cream pie, however it also tastes great when made with a graham cracker crust (bake according to instructions in recipe) or in a standard pie crust (blind-bake according to instructions).
²If you don’t have a food processor, you can crush the cookies by placing them in a large bag and thoroughly smashing them with a rolling pin or mallet until they’re reduced to crumbs.
³For detailed information and photos on making homemade whipped cream, please see my how to make whipped cream post.
⁴You can of course use any tip, but I used an Ateco 848
