Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 3/4 cup chocolate ganache
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Cocoa powder for dusting
  • For ganache: 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Bake crust for 8–10 minutes. Cool completely.
  3. In a saucepan, whisk milk, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy (about 5–7 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla. Let cool slightly.
  5. Pour half of the custard into cooled crust. Arrange banana slices evenly over the top.
  6. Spread remaining custard over bananas. Chill at least 2 hours until set.
  7. For ganache: Heat cream until steaming. Pour over chocolate chips, wait 2 minutes, then stir until glossy. Pour over chilled pie and let set 20–30 minutes.
  8. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar to stiff peaks. Pipe generously on top and dust lightly with cocoa powder before serving.

Notes

  • Toss banana slices in a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto custard while cooling to avoid skin forming.
  • Chill overnight for the best slice structure and flavor depth.
