Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Place in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.
-
Arrange the sliced bananas over the set chocolate ganache layer in the pie crust. Make sure to cover the entire surface with a single layer of bananas.
-
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to temper the eggs. Then, pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for another 2 minutes until thickened.
-
Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until smooth. Let the custard cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
-
Pour the warm custard over the sliced bananas in the pie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
-
Before serving, top the pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
