Best Banana Pudding Pie Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk cookie crumbs, sugar, and salt for crust together in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until mixture is coated and moist. Press the crumb mixture evenly along the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch, deep-dish pie plate.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden brown and firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• Melt 1/2 cup of the peanut butter and butter for the peanut butter layer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking to combine. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Pour mixture into bottom of the cooled crust, carefully smoothing into an even layer with a silicone spatula. Arrange the banana slices in an even layer over the peanut butter.
• Combine the remaining ½ cup peanut butter and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Cut the peanut butter into the sugar using a fork until a crumbly, streusel-like mixture forms; you will get about 2 scant cups of this mixture. Sprinkle about half of this mixture over the sliced bananas. Gently press with clean fingertips into a relatively even layer. Place pie in refrigerator while you make the pudding.
• Beat egg yolks for banana pudding layer with a whisk in a medium bowl until well combined; set aside. Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan to evenly combine. Whisk in half-and-half, making sure all ingredients are well distributed. Place the pan over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened slightly and gently begins to simmer, about 10 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat and, while whisking rapidly, slowly drizzle about ½ to 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs to temper. Keep whisking until smooth and combined. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens further, 3 to 6 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in the butter, vanilla, and banana extract.
• Pour the pudding mixture into a large mixing bowl and press a sheet of plastic wrap onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a "skin" from forming. Cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Once pudding has cooled, pour about half of the pudding into the pie shell. Sprinkle the crumbled wafers in an even layer over top. Arrange the banana slices over the wafers. Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumble mixture over the bananas. Pour remaining pudding over top. (Some of the peanut butter crumble and banana slices may float towards the surface; that's just fine. Smooth the surface as well as you can with a silicone spatula.) Place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto surface of the pudding filling to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
• When ready to serve, combine heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla for topping in a chilled mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until medium-soft peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream on top of the pie.

BANANA COCONUT PUDDING OR PIE FILLING

HOMEMADE BANANA PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate with a layer of alternating vanilla wafer crumbs and banana slices.
• To Make Pudding: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar with flour. Mix well, then stir in half the milk. Beat egg yolks and whisk into sugar mixture. Add remaining milk and butter or margarine.
• Place mixture over low heat and cook until thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour half of pudding over vanilla wafer and banana layer while still hot.
• Make another layer of alternating vanilla wafers and banana slices on top of pudding layer. Pour remaining pudding over second wafer and banana layer.
• To Make Meringue: In a large glass or metal bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until whites are stiff. Spread meringue into pie pan, making sure to completely cover pudding layer.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, just until meringue is browned. Chill before serving.

BANANA PUDDING CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• For the crust:
• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Place the vanilla wafers in a food processor and pulse until the crumbs resemble coarse meal. Add the melted butter and sugar and pulse until the cookie crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie tin.
• Bake the crust until set and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the filling:
• Cover and chill the egg whites. In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, milk, cream, egg yolks, and 1 cup of the sugar. Cook over medium heat, whisking continuously, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Do not leave the custard unattended while whisking because the egg yolks will cook and make the mixture grainy. Whisk in the butter, vanilla, and salt. Pour the custard into the baked crust and chill for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• When ready to assemble the pie, preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the egg whites and the cream of tartar. With the mixer on high speed, gradually add the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
• Arrange the banana slices in a single layer over the custard. Top the banana slices with the vanilla wafers. Spread the meringue over the wafers, covering the entire pie.
• Bake until the meringue is light brown all over, about 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then chill for at least 20 minutes before serving.
• Chef's Tip: The secret to making custard pies is controlling the heat of the stove: it should be intense enough to advance the cooking process but not so hot that it scorches the custard.

BANANA-PINEAPPLE VANILLA PUDDING PIE

SALTED CARAMEL BANANA PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the vanilla wafers in a food processor and pulse until the cookies are finely crushed. Reserve 1/2 cup to layer in and to top the pie. Pour the remaining crumbs in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the melted butter over the top and, using a spoon or your hands, combine the ingredients. Press the mixture in the bottom and up the sides and onto the lip of the pie plate. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Peel and slice the bananas, adding them to a bowl. Stir the salt into the caramel sauce and toss the banana slices with the salted caramel. Arrange some banana slices evenly over the bottom of the crust. Spread half of the warm Vanilla Pudding over the bananas, top with some more crushed vanilla wafers (reserving some for garnish) and more caramel-coated bananas. Spread the remaining Vanilla Pudding over the top.
• In a large bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Add the almond extract and sugar and beat until peaks form. Make sure not to overbeat, or the cream will become lumpy and butter-like. Spread the whipped cream over the pie. Just before serving, garnish with a caramel swirl and the rest of the crushed vanilla wafers.
• Combine the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. This is the only time you can stir the sugar. If you stir it while it's cooking, it turns to rock candy. Place the saucepan over medium to low heat until the sugars start to dissolve, 5 to 10 minutes. Then turn the heat up to medium-high and cook until the sugar starts to caramelize, 5 to 7 minutes. Do not stir while this is happening. You've got to watch the pot, because it goes from caramel to burnt really quickly. And be careful, the mixture is extremely hot!
• Turn off the heat and stand back to avoid splattering. Slowly add the cream. Don't panic - the cream will bubble violently, and the caramel will solidify. Just give it more time to liquefy again-trust me!
• Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature, at least 4 hours. It will thicken as it sits.
• 3 cups.
• In a bowl, whisk together the sugar and flour until all of the lumps are gone. Once it is a fine powder, whisk in the egg yolks and whole eggs and continue whisking until a smooth paste is formed. Slowly whisk in 1 cup milk, and once this is incorporated add the remaining 1 cup milk. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it reaches the thickness of chilled pudding, 10 to 15 minutes. (Mixture will just begin to bubble and will be thick enough to hold soft peaks when the whisk is lifted.) Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
