Ingredients

For Pie Crust

  • 1 pie crust, ready made

For the Filling

  • 4 cups milk
  • 5 egg yolks
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup corn starch
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tbsp butter

For the Whipped Cream Topping

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Grease the pan and unroll the dough into the pie pan without stretching. Press into the pie pan. With a fork, pierce the pie dough on top.
  • Add a round of parchment paper and pour the bean weights into the pie shell. This will keep your pie crust propped up during baking. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • In a 4 quart pan put 3 cups of milk and 1 cup of sugar and ¼ cup of butter. Bring to a rolling boil.
  • Dilute cornstarch with 1 cup of milk, then add the egg yolks, vanilla and salt and mix.
  • Take 1 cup of the warm milk and mix by pouring the warm milk into the egg mixture. This helps to mix the egg mixture and not to cook the eggs.
  • Pour into the pot until it thickens into a thick custard while mixing constantly.
  • Once the pie has cooled off, slice the bananas and place them at the bottom of the pie shell.
  • Once the custard has cooled off a little then pour the custard on top of the bananas. Place in the refrigerator and let it settle for about 4 hours or overnight.
  • Whip up the whip cream until it peaks and spoon the whip cream on top of the pie.
  • Place the sliced bananas on top and the pie is ready. Enjoy!

Notes

When making the custard, I always mix constantly so no lumps appear.
