Ingredients
1 baked, 9 inch pie shell
6 T cake flour
2/3 cup sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 ¾ cups milk
2 egg yolks
1¼ t vanilla
1 cup heavy cream, whipped (1/2 for filling)
2 ripe bananas sliced
½ lemon, juiced
Garnish (optional): Zest from 1 orange, or Sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions
Combine flour, sugar, and salt together in the top of a double boiler. Mix with a fork and add milk. Stir with a whisk until smooth. Cook over hot water and continue to whisk until the mixture thickens. Cook an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour ¼ cup of warm filling into egg yolks and beat vigorously. Return mixture to double boiler and simmer for an additional 2 mins while stirring. Remove from heat. Once cooled, add vanilla and chill in the refrigerator. Fold in ½ of whipped cream, saving the rest for topping.
Slice bananas and sprinkle with juice from ½ of a lemon. Layer cream filling and sliced bananas in prepared pie crust. Once complete, top with remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle with orange zest or cinnamon, if desired. Enjoy!
