How to Make Chocolate Banana Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 6 oz (170g) semi-sweet chocolate and 4 tbsp (57g) unsalted butter in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Stir in 1 ½ cups (150g) finely crushed graham crackers.
  3. Press the chocolate-cracker mixture into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat 8 oz (227g) cream cheese until smooth. Beat in 3 ripe bananas (mashed), 1 tbsp lemon juice, ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until light, fluffy, and well combined.
  5. Pour the banana filling over the pre-baked crust.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
  8. For the chocolate ganache topping: Gently heat ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream in a saucepan. Remove from heat and pour over 4 oz (113g) finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
  9. Pour the ganache over the cooled pie and spread evenly.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Decorate with thinly sliced bananas dipped in lemon juice to prevent browning.
  11. Enjoy your decadent Chocolate Banana Pie!
