Chocolate Banana Cream Pie
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Intermediate
Total: 7 hr 10 min (includes cooling and chilling times)
Active: 45 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
For the crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (10 to 12 crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For the chocolate filling:
3/4 cup sugar
5 extra-large egg yolks
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups whole milk, scalded
7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
For the decoration:
2 large bananas, sliced
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Milk chocolate, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into an 11-inch false-bottom tart pan, making sure the sides and the bottom of the crust are an even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool completely.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the scalded milk until the mixture is combined.
Pour the mixture into a large saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is very thick. Off the heat, add the chocolate, butter, coffee liqueur and coffee powder and stir until the chocolate is melted. Pour the filling into the cooled tart pan and smooth the top. Place plastic wrap directly on top of the chocolate filling and chill for 6 hours.
When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap from the chocolate and arrange the banana slices in concentric circles on top of the filling.
Place the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat until the cream forms firm peaks. Spoon the whipped cream on top of the bananas and gently spread the cream with a spatula to cover the pie, leaving a border of bananas visible at the outside edge. For a garnish, shave curls of milk chocolate on top of the whipped cream.
Remove the pie from the pan, place it on a cake plate and serve.

Lmao I literally died when she’s like “...and I mean it technically has fruit in it right? Works for me. *shrug*” that’s me trying to explain eating blueberry pancakes in my diet hahaha

I love banana cream pie; think this recipe sounds the best ever! Love the barefoot Contessa. Looks really good and super easy.

I need someone to gif “Works for me!” Hahaha

Love how she casually just “happens” to have an already made pie in the fridge. Love her ♥️

Omg when ina said ah duh I laughed so hard she is so me
-
Recipe is yummy. Things I learned: it's hard to know when the pie crust is even and flat, but you'll definitely tell it's uneven after baking. It still tastes great....The pudding took me 15-20 minutes, not 5, to thicken. But keep stirring and it it will happen eventually....I used a mix of bittersweet and semisweet baking chocolate....The leftover filling makes for yummy pudding....thanks, Ina!
-
that mom joke she said at the end sent me 💀🤣

This was such a delicious recipe to make. I adore Ina's recipes, she gave me confidence to make so many things I'd never think I could pull off.
-
For those talking about the bananas being exposed you do realize she always has someone or someone’s waiting to eat her stuff right ? I’m sure her pie didn’t last long
