Zubereitung von Retro Banana Cream Pie
- **Make the Custard:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup cornstarch, and ½ cup milk until smooth.
- Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the remaining 2 ½ cups milk over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edges.
- Gradually whisk the warm milk into the egg yolk mixture.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat. Stir in 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the custard into a bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate until completely cool, about 2 hours.
- **Prepare the Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and 6 tablespoons (¾ stick) melted unsalted butter until evenly moistened.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- **Assemble the Pie:** Once the crust is firm, drizzle 2 ounces melted semi-sweet chocolate over the bottom of the crust. Spread evenly with the back of a spoon.
- Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Carefully spoon half of the cooled custard over the chocolate layer.
- Arrange sliced bananas over the custard, overlapping slightly.
- Top with the remaining custard.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
- **Make the Topping:** In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Pipe or spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
- Garnish with 1 ounce grated semi-sweet chocolate.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
