Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
- 1.25 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium bananas, sliced
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press it down firmly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until slightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
Let the chocolate and cream sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Spread a thin layer of the chocolate fudge mixture over the cooled crust. Arrange a layer of sliced bananas on top of the chocolate.
Pour the remaining chocolate fudge mixture over the bananas, spreading it evenly. Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, whip the whipping cream and powdered sugar together in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the set pie. Garnish with additional banana slices and milk chocolate shavings, if desired.
Slice and serve the pie chilled. Enjoy your Banana Fudge Pie!
