VANILLA BANANA CREAM PIE

No other dessert harkens us back to childhood 

and all those sweet memories, as does a pie. 

It can be served simple and unadorned, or piled high with fruit and cream.....

we all love them!

Cooled Crust

The Banana Cream Pie is so much a southern favorite,

 that you are probably standing at the head of the line to get your slice.....

Y'all enjoy!

Vanilla Banana Cream Pie
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 t. salt
2 cups whole milk
3 slightly beaten egg yolks
2 T. butter
1 t. vanilla
1 (9-inch) baked and cooled pastry shell
3 fresh bananas
Whipping cream
Shaved unsweetened chocolate

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, flour and salt. Gradually stir in the milk. Cook and stir over medium heat, stirring constantly until bubbly. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. 

Stir a small amount of the custard into the egg yolks. This serves to temper the yolks. Return this mixture into the hot custard and continue to cook over medium heat for 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and add in butter and vanilla. Pour into the cooled pie shell over 3 sliced bananas. I sprinkle the bananas with a spritz of lemon juice to keep from browning. Top with whipped cream and shaved chocolate!
