Ingredients for Banana Cream Pie With Chocolate
How to Make Banana Cream Pie With Chocolate
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your pie crust (store-bought or homemade).
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
- Pour the banana cream filling into the prepared pie crust.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and milk until smooth.
- Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the banana cream filling, swirling gently with a knife or toothpick.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
- Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
