Equipment

  • Oven
  • small saucepan
  • blender or food processor
  • ramekins

Ingredients
  

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 4 pieces graham crackers crushed
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Banana Cream Pie Filling

  • 1 whole banana + a few extra banana slices for layering (ideally 1 ½ bananas)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • a pinch salt
  • 1 whole egg yolk
  • 1 cup whole milk ½ cup + 2 tablespoons
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • a tiny splash vanilla

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine graham crackers, sugar, and butter. Press into two 8-ounce ramekins. Place on a baking sheet with one unpeeled banana. Bake for 10 minutes, until the banana is soft with a black peel, and the crusts are set.
  • Without heat, whisk sugar, cornstarch, salt, and egg yolk together in a small saucepan. Slowly whisk in the milk until mostly smooth. Move your pan to the stove and bring to a low simmer over low heat, whisking frequently. Continue to heat gently for a few minutes until you get a nice thick pudding consistency. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.
  • Transfer the cooled pudding to a blender or food processor with the roasted banana. Blend until mostly smooth.
  • Top the baked crusts with slices of banana. Pour the filling over the top. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until set. Top with whipped cream and serve.

Notes

Chilling the pies is essential for the best texture.
