This pie offers a perfect balance of textures, from the silky smooth filling to the crisp and buttery crust, making it an irresistible treat for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and lime zest.
- Add the butter in small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture evenly into the greased pie dish, making sure to cover the bottom and sides.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until it turns light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolk, sugar, and corn flour until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the 1% milk, coconut milk, and a dash of salt.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Once cooled, fold in the heavy whipping cream until fully combined.
- Slice the bananas and place them in a bowl.
- Add the lemon juice and water to the bowl and toss gently to coat. This will prevent the bananas from browning.
- Arrange a layer of banana slices evenly over the bottom of the cooled crust.
- Pour the cooled filling over the banana slices, spreading it evenly to cover the bananas.
- Arrange another layer of banana slices on top of the filling.
- If desired, you can also top the pie with additional whipping cream or toasted coconut flakes for garnish.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Once the pie is fully chilled and set, slice and serve cold.
Tips:
- For the best results, use ripe bananas as they provide natural sweetness and enhance the flavor of the pie.
- Chill the coconut milk in the refrigerator beforehand; this helps to achieve a thicker and creamier consistency for the filling.
- When working with the crust, ensure the butter is cold. This ensures a flakier texture once baked.
- Allow the pie to cool completely in the refrigerator before serving. This helps the filling to set properly and makes slicing easier.
- A hint of lime zest in both the crust and filling can add a refreshing burst of flavor, balancing out the sweetness.
- To prevent the bananas from browning, toss them in lemon juice before incorporating them into the pie.
With its delightful blend of bananas and coconut cream, this pie is a tropical dream come true. Serve it chilled for a refreshing dessert that is perfect for warm weather or any time you crave a taste of the tropics. Each bite promises a burst of flavors that will surely make this Banana and Coconut Cream Pie a favorite in your dessert repertoire.
