- \u00be cup granulated sugar<\/li>\n
- \u00bc cup cornstarch<\/li>\n
- \u00bc teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
- 4 large egg yolks<\/li>\n

- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar<\/li>\n
- \u00bd teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Instructions:<\/span><\/h4>\nStep 1: Prepare the Pie Crust<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Start by making the pie crust. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.<\/li>\n
- Add the chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.<\/li>\n
- Gradually add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork until the dough begins to come together.<\/li>\n
- Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.<\/li>\n
- Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/li>\n
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, trim the excess dough, and crimp the edges.<\/li>\n
- Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent it from puffing up.<\/li>\n
- Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.<\/li>\n
- Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment and weights. Continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until the crust is golden. Set aside to cool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 2: Make the Banana Cream Filling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens and begins to boil.<\/li>\n
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper.<\/li>\n
- Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, continuing to cook and whisk until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon.<\/li>\n
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.<\/li>\n
- Arrange a layer of banana slices over the bottom of the baked pie crust.<\/li>\n
- Pour half of the banana cream filling over the bananas, spreading it evenly.<\/li>\n
- Add another layer of banana slices, followed by the remaining custard. Smooth the top with a spatula.<\/li>\n
- Cover with plastic wrap, letting it touch the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 3: Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes.<\/li>\n
- Add the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the chilled bowl.<\/li>\n
- Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 4: Assemble the Pie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Remove the pie from the refrigerator and spread the whipped cream over the top, creating decorative swirls.<\/li>\n
- Garnish with additional banana slices or a sprinkle of cocoa powder, if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
