Easy Homemade Banana Cream Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups milk
• 3 egg yolks, beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 (9 inch) baked pastry shell, cooled
• 4 bananas, sliced

Instructions

1. Gather all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk until well combined.
3. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it boils and thickens. Continue to cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from the heat. In a separate medium bowl, place the egg yolks; whisk in a small amount of the hot milk mixture until smooth. Then, gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan.
4. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, approximately 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
5. Arrange sliced bananas to fill the pre-baked pastry shell; pour the prepared pudding mixture on top, ensuring the bananas are fully covered.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.
7. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack. Then, chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
