Banana Cream Pie Supreme Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk, scalded
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 bananas, sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks
- 1 nut crust
- Whipped cream topping
- 1/8 cup nuts, optional
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder, unsweetened
Directions:
- Heat the milk over medium heat to scald.
- Beat the egg yolks and gradually add the sugar. Then beat in the flour and gelatin. Gradually stir in the scalded milk, constantly beating with a whisk. Transfer to medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, (use a whisk). The mixture may lump as it begins to thicken. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk the butter and vanilla extract in until smooth. Cool the mixture to room temperature.
- Peel the bananas, slice, and toss with the lemon juice. Keep refrigerated until ready to add.
- Whip the whipping cream until firm but not stiff. Mix about 1/4 of the cream into the cooled egg mixture to lighten it, then fold the remaining cream and bananas into the egg mixture.
- Fill the pastry shells and smooth to even.
- Spread the whipped cream topping over the top and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
