Description

National Banana Cream Pie Day is March 2. Make a from-scratch banana cream pie with homemade vanilla custard, fresh bananas, and a cloud of whipped cream.

Instructions

Heat the milk until steaming. Whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks in a bowl.
Slowly whisk the hot milk into the yolk mixture, then return it all to the pot.
Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thick and bubbling, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Off the heat, stir in the butter and vanilla. Cool slightly.
Spread a layer of custard in the crust, add banana slices, then more custard. Repeat, ending with custard.
Press wrap onto the surface and chill at least 4 hours. Top with whipped cream before serving.
