How to Make Strawberry Banana Cream Pie
- 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 large egg yolks and 1 1/2 cups whole milk.
- Gradually whisk a small amount of the milk mixture into the dry ingredients to create a smooth paste.
- Gradually whisk in the remaining milk mixture until well combined.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the custard into a bowl, cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and place the bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice water. Stir occasionally until the custard is completely cool.
- Arrange 1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries in the bottom of a 9-inch pie crust, reserving about 1/4 cup for garnish.
- Pour half of the cooled custard over the strawberries.
- Layer 2 ripe bananas, sliced, over the custard layer. Top with the remaining custard.
- Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
- Garnish with the reserved strawberries and whipped cream before serving.
