How to Make Banana Cream Pie With Chocolate

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your pie crust (store-bought or homemade).
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the banana cream filling into the prepared pie crust.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and milk until smooth.
  9. Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the banana cream filling, swirling gently with a knife or toothpick.
  10. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
  11. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
