BANANA CREAM PIE

INGREDIENTS

Crust
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup mashed banana
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 large egg yolks
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 pounds total), peeled, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices

PREPARATION

For crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and mashed banana in large bowl to blend. Add unsalted butter and stir to moisten evenly. Press onto bottom and up sides of 10-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
Bake crust until set and pale golden, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
For filling:
Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Gradually whisk in whipping cream and whole milk, then egg yolks. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add vanilla bean. Whisk over medium-high heat until custard thickens and boils, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in unsalted butter and vanilla extract. Discard vanilla bean. Transfer custard to large bowl; cool completely, whisking occasionally, about 1 hour.
Stir custard to loosen, if necessary. Spread 1 cup custard over bottom of prepared crust. Top with half of sliced bananas, then 1 cup custard, covering bananas completely. Repeat layering with remaining bananas and remaining custard. Chill banana cream pie until filling is set and crust softens slightly, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. Cut pie into wedges and serve.

Bo,Sven, Vey and Hutton.

Pretty cool to see that with Vancouver's recent history of having little to no youth.

SJS & ANA both picking up regulation wins tonight. #Canucks can't. That makes climb to the playoffs that much steeper (16 ROW)

Vrbata chokes, Miller chokes. Game over.

Thanks Miller... #tanknation

They just lost to the worst team in the league with a no-name backup goaltender - need I say more JB?

The Canucks just can't satisfy us one way or another.









Vantel, you have a link to those wrestling bears?

Marwood we need some pumpkin recipes.

Wasn't regulation but we will take it.

Big Lebowski is on tv.

Vantel watched an ad he described as bare bears and chic chicks, when steamer asked for the link, I was just poking fun at him. Obviously poorly done.

Edit: that's still a twisted image...
