This is the ultimate banana cream pie; rich, silky, and indulgent yet so light and dreamy. Full of banana flavor with no artificial ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (300g, plus more for rolling)
  • 4 tbs granulated sugar (36g)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (3g)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (225g, chilled)
  • 4 tbs ice water (60mL)
  • 1 egg ( for the egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp cream ( for the egg wash)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt (2g)
  • 1/4 cup corn starch (40g)
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (250g)
  • 3 cups milk (720mL)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract (15mL)
  • 4 tbsp butter (57g, unsalted)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (480mL)
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar (50g)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (10mL)
  • 4 bananas (sliced)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

  2. 2

    Whisk together the two eggs and two egg yolks in a medium bowl then set aside.

  3. 3

    Add heavy cream, sugar and vanilla to a stand mixer. Whip on high until you reach soft peaks.

 I recommend making the whipped cream just before serving but you can do this in advance and chill the whole pie.

  4. 4

    Use a spatula to smooth a thin layer of the filling onto the bottom of your cooled pie shell.
