Banana Cream Pie Recipe

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Add milk and cream gradually while continually whisking. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbly. Keep stirring and cook for about 2 more minutes, and then remove from the heat.

Stir a small quantity of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks, then add egg yolk mixture back to the rest of the hot mixture. Cook for 2 more minutes; remember to keep stirring. Remove the mixture from the stove, and add the scraped vanilla bean. Stir until the whole thing has a smooth consistency. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Add the tablespoon on butter and stir until smooth.

Place the bananas into the cooled graham cracker pie crust . Top with pudding mixture.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Chill for an hour. Top with fresh whipped cream and serve.
