How to Make Janis S Banana Cream Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake a 9-inch pie shell according to package directions, or your favorite recipe, until lightly golden. Cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole milk and 3 large egg yolks.
- Gradually whisk the milk mixture into the sugar mixture.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a rolling boil.
- Continue to boil and stir for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely cool (at least 2 hours).
- Peel and slice 3-4 ripe bananas. Arrange in the cooled pie shell.
- Pour the cooled custard over the bananas.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
- Top with whipped cream just before serving.
