Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 ounces White chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 3 medium Banana, sliced
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 none Large egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 ounces White chocolate curls (for garnish)
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the white chocolate chips until smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly.
Using a hand or stand mixer, whip 1 cup of the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the melted white chocolate until fully combined. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while whisking constantly until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually pour about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them. Then, pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
Cook the mixture on medium heat, whisking continuously, for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Spread a thin layer of the white chocolate cream mixture onto the bottom of the cooled crust. Arrange a layer of sliced bananas over the cream, then pour the warm custard over the bananas.
Once the custard layer is spread evenly, top with the remaining white chocolate cream mixture and smooth it out.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream (if desired) and garnish with white chocolate curls.
Serve chilled and enjoy your White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie!
