Ingredients

  • For the custard
  • 1 Pie Crust
  • 2 Bananas
  • 3 cups Whole Milk
  • cup Corn Starch
  • 4 Large Egg Yolks
  • cup Sugar
  • teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • For the Chocolate Layer:
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • ¾ cup Milk Chocolate Chips
  • ¼ cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Marshmallow Fluff
  • For the whipped cream topping:
  • 1 cup Whipping Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  • Place the pie crust in the pie pan, flute the edges, poke several times with a fork, and then bake according to the instructions on the box. Then remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Prepare the chocolate layer next. Melt the butter in a double boiler, add the chocolate and cream, and stir until the chocolate melts. Add in the fluff, stir until combined.
  • Pour the chocolate over the pie crust.
  • Slice the two bananas into round discs ⅛ of an inch thick. Layer the banana over the chocolate.
  • Next prepare the custard layer. Whisk ½ cup milk and the corn starch together in a small bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks together. Gradually whisk the milk and corn starch into the egg yolks.
  • In a sauce pan over medium low heat, combine the rest of the milk, the sugar, salt, and vanilla. Stir constantly and bring to a simmer.
  • Then add the hot milk to the egg yolk mixture. With one hand, whisk the egg yolk mixture constantly. With your other hand, add the warm milk mixture ½ cup at a time.
  • Pour the custard back into the sauce pan. Heat over medium heat, bringing to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil for 30 seconds, continuing to stir. Then turn off the heat, and let the custard cool for 10 minutes.
  • Pour the custard into a bowl, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then pour the custard over the chocolate layer. Cover the custard with plastic wrap, placing it directly on the custard so that a skin doesn't form. Let the pie cool in the fridge for 4 hours.
  • Prepare the whipped cream by mixing the whipped cream, vanilla, powdered sugar, in a mixer on medium speed. Whip until soft peaks form.
  • Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream over the top.
