Mile High Choco Banana Cream Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into an 11-inch false-bottom tart pan, making sure the sides and the bottom of the crust are an even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool completely.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the scalded milk until the mixture is combined.
• Pour the mixture into a large saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is very thick. Off the heat, add the chocolate, butter, coffee liqueur and coffee powder and stir until the chocolate is melted. Pour the filling into the cooled tart pan and smooth the top. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the chocolate filling and chill for 6 hours.
• When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap from the chocolate and arrange the banana slices in concentric circles on top of the filling.
• Place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat until the cream forms firm peaks. Spoon the whipped cream on top of the bananas and gently spread the cream with a spatula to cover the pie, leaving a border of bananas visible at the outside edge. For a garnish, shave curls of milk chocolate on top of the whipped cream. Remove the pie from the pan, place it on a cake plate and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your oven 425 degrees. Lay your dough, after it has been rolled out, into a deep 9 inch pie plate. Make sure to use a fork and prick the pie all over so it doesn't puff out on you. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 and then reduce heat to 375 and bake another 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely
• 2. in a stand mixer or in a bowl and using an electric mixer (or whisk if you are that motivated) beat your COLD heavy cream until it is whipped but not all the way to whipped cream. Add in both packages of instant pudding and whip until it is stiff. Add in milk and flavoring if you choose to use it. You could also add a drop or 2 of yellow food coloring if you felt so inclined. Whip just a few seconds longer until combined. Use a rubber spatula and clean off the sides of the bowl, give it a few folds and put aside
• 3. slice your bananas and add them to the bottom of your pie crust. I used 1 but you might want to use 2 or 3 if you really love bananas! Spoon your banana cream on top and spread evenly or mount up a bit higher in the middle
• 4. Now for the topping
• 5. Whip cream until almost whipped. Add in sugar and vanilla and continue whipping until it is whipped cream! I used a piping bag and 1m tip to pipe mine on, but feel free to just spread it over the top of the pie
• 6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours

Steps:
