Category: Pies - Cream and Custard
Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
This pie consists of the following layers:
Layer 6: Shaved chocolate or chocolate curls (optional)
Layer 5: Whipped Cream
Layer 4: Vanilla Pastry Cream (Make this first, it must chill for at least 4 hours)
Layer 3: Bananas Foster
Layer 2: Chocolate Ganache
Layer 1: Graham Cracker Pie Crust
Assembly
1. Make the vanilla pastry cream and chill.
2. Make the crust. When it's cold, gently butter the outer ring of the spring form pan (if you're using one) and chill.
3. Once the crust is fully chilled, make the chocolate ganache and pour into the pie shell and chill again.
4. Make the bananas and chill.
5. On the same day you're ready to serve the pie, but at least an hour ahead, make the whipped cream and chill.
6. Spread bananas evenly over chocolate ganache
7. Spread pastry cream over bananas and smooth.
8. Spread whipped cream (or if you want a little something extra, pipe the whipped cream using a star shaped tip) and top with shaved chocolate (optional)
9. Chill at least one hour or overnight.
When you're ready to serve, gently remove outer ring of spring form pan. Be sure when you cut it that you really push down to ensure you cut through the crust.
Here are the recipes for each layer:
Graham Cracker Crust
1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup white sugar
6 tbsp butter, melted
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter until well blended. Press mixture into a 9 inch spring form pan or pie plate. Bake at 375 for 6 minutes, just until it starts to brown. Cool completely, cover, and then chill in the refrigerator for at least a half and hour or overnight.
Bananas Foster
2 tbsp butter
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1 tbsp tsp rum (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 large firm to just soft bananas
In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in sugar, rum, vanilla and cinnamon. When mixture begins to bubble, place bananas in pan and mix gently to coat bananas in the caramel mixture. Cook until bananas are hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour bananas in a non-plastic bowl and let cool for 1/2 hour on the counter. Then refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour or overnight.
Chocolate Ganache Layer
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tbsp unsalted butter
4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Heat cream and butter in medium saucepan over medium heat until mixture is hot (do not boil). Remove from heat. Add chocolate and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Pour into prepared crust and spread evenly. Chill crust until chocolate ganache is firm, about 30 minutes.
Vanilla Pastry Cream
1 1/2 cups half and half or 3/4 cup of whipped cream and 3/4 cup of whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
1 large egg yolk (at room temperature)
2 tbsp all purpose flour
2 tsp vanilla extract
Bring half and half (or cream/milk mixture) to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. While the milk is warming up, whisk sugar, eggs, egg yolk and flour in medium bowl to blend. Once the milk is hot (but not boiling) very gradually, whisk in half of the hot half and half, whisking quickly so as not to scramble the eggs. Transfer to saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until mixture thickens and comes to boil, about 5 minutes. Boil 1 minute. Pour into medium bowl. Stir in vanilla. Press plastic onto surface of pastry cream. Cover; chill until cold, about 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Try not to eat the whole bowl :-))
Whipped Cream
1 cup chilled whipping cream
1 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (if you have clear vanilla, use that to maintain a super white vanilla)
Beat cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in large bowl until stiff peaks form. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
