My husband loves banana cream pie, and I like chocolate, so I combined the two. It's our favorite dessert, which means I get a lot of practice making it! Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup cornstarch |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 cups milk |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
3 eggs yolks, lightly beaten |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked |
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted |
2 medium firm bananas, sliced |
whipped cream and chocolate shavings, optional |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually add milk and cream until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Add a small amount to egg yolks; mix well. Return all to the pan. Bring to a gentle boil; cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla.
2. Pour half into the pastry shell; cover and refrigerate. Add chocolate to remaining custard; mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Do not stir.
3. Arrange bananas over filling. Carefully spoon chocolate custard over all. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
