Chocolate Banana Cream Pie Recipe
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
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.
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.
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.
