Chocolate Caramel Banana Cream Pie Recipe
Oh yes, I've gone there. Who doesn't Love Chocolate, Caramel and bananas?
Ingredients
- 1 chocolate graham crust
- 3 bananas
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cups milk
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- Slice bananas into approx 1/4-inch thick slices and pile them into an even layer in the pie crust
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine sugar and water and cook until sugar is bubbling and has taken on a golden amber color, about 10 minutes (depending on the temperature of your stovetop). Add in butter. Sugar will sizzle, then butter will melt right in.
- Working carefully, pour in 1 1/2 cups of the milk to the hot sugar mixture. The caramel will seize up, but will remelt fairly quickly. Stir occasionally to help caramel melt.
- Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 1/2 cup milk, cornstarch and egg in a medium bowl. When the caramel has melted into the milk in the sauce pan, very gradually stream it into the cornstarch mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the mixture through a strainer and transfer the milk mixture back into the saucepan.
- Continue to cook pudding over medium heat until it just comes to a boil. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. The pudding will thicken substantially. Whisk in vanilla extract.
- Pour immediately over the sliced bananas in the pie crust. Chill in refrigerator until pudding is chilled and set, at least 2 hours.
- I highly recommend drizzling with chocolate and caramel sauces.!
