BANANA BUTTERSCOTCH CREAM PIE



Banana Butterscotch Cream Pie image

I've been accused of peeling bananas incorrectly. Several people have pointed out that I, who always peel bananas from the stem end, do it wrong, and they advised me to peel them like monkeys do: by grasping the bottom of the fruit and pinching the banana open. To be honest, I found that it doesn't make all that much difference, especially when using the bananas in a dessert. Peeling technique aside, this pie does differ from the usual butterscotch cream pie. I use homemade chocolate-cookie crumbs in the crust and make the filling with lots of dark brown sugar, which gives it a toffee-like creaminess that separates it from the jungle of other pies out there.

Yield makes one 10-inch (25-cm) pie; 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 cups (180 g) crushed chocolate cookie crumbs (about 15 Flo's Chocolate Snaps, page 191)
3 tablespoons (45 g) sugar
4 tablespoons (2 ounces/60 g) unsalted or salted butter, melted
1 cup (215 g) packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons (1 ounce/30 g) unsalted or salted butter
3 tablespoons (25 g) cornstarch
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons dark rum
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ripe medium bananas
1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons (30 ml) dark rum
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate curls, for garnish (see page 8)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • To make the crust, generously butter a 10-inch (25-cm) pie plate. In a medium bowl, mix together the chocolate cookie crumbs, the 3 tablespoons (45 g) sugar, and 4 tablespoons (2 ounces/60 g) melted butter until evenly moistened. Pat the mixture in an even layer into the bottom and up the sides of the buttered pie plate. Refrigerate or freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Bake the crust until if feels slightly firm, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • To make the filling, in a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar and the 2 tablespoons (1 ounce/30 g) butter, stirring, until the butter is melted. Pour into a large bowl, set a mesh strainer across the top, and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with just enough of the milk to make a smooth slurry. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the remaining milk and the salt. When the milk is hot, stir the cornstarch mixture to recombine, then whisk it into the milk in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to boil and thickens. Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl, then whisk a small amount of the hot thickened milk mixture into the yolks. Whisk the warmed egg-yolk mixture into the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture returns to a boil and is as thick as mayonnaise. Pour it through the strainer into the butter-brown sugar mixture. Add the 2 teaspoons rum and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and whisk until combined.
  • Peel and cut the bananas into slices 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick and scatter them in the bottom of the cooled crust. Pour the filling into the crust, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
  • To make the topping, in a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment (or in a bowl by hand), whisk the cream on high speed until it begins to mound softly. Add the 1 tablespoon sugar and 2 tablespoons rum and continue whisking until the cream holds peaks. Spread or pipe the topping over the pie. Garnish with chocolate curls.
  • The baked or unbaked crust can be refrigerated for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 1 month. The pie can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, but whip the cream and top the pie with it a few hours before serving.

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 single crust deep dish pie shell, partially prebaked (9 1/2 inch deep-dish)
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup butterscotch chips
1 pinch salt (a generous pinch)
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Gently warm the corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter together in a saucepan until the butter melts.
  • Turn off the heat and add the butterscotch chips.
  • Scatter them around rather than dumping them in one spot; set the pan aside for 5 minutes, shaking it once or twice to move hot liquid over the chips.
  • After 5 minutes, add the salt and whisk to smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into a large bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk together just until frothy.
  • Whisk in the vanilla; whisk a little less than half of the hot liquid into the eggs until smooth.
  • Add the rest of the hot liquid and whisk until smooth.
  • Add in the pecans and stir well; turn the filling into the cooled pie shell.
  • Using a fork, gently rake the filling to distribute the pecans evenly.
  • Place the pie on the center oven rack and bake until the perimeter of the filling has puffed up and perhaps cracked slightly, 40-50 minutes.
  • Rotate the pie 180° halfway through the baking, sot that the part that faced the back of the oven now faces forward.
  • When done, the center may wobble a little, but it shouldn't seem soupy.
  • Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let cool.
  • Serve slightly warm or at room temperature; or let cool thoroughly; cover with loosely tented foil; refrigerate for several hours before serving.

BUTTERSCOTCH BANANA PIE



Butterscotch Banana Pie image

I found this in an old 1970's cookbook from some local Jaycee Janes organization. Remember them? This recipe was from a home economics teacher so I just had to try it. I did add honeyroasted peanut butter drizzled over the bananas. Using the whipped topping is a must, cuts some of the richness. Better get a glass of milk for...

BUTTERSCOTCH BANANA CREAM PIE

Time 10h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups flour
7 teaspoons sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pea sized bits
1 large egg beaten with 1 cup ice water
Butterscotch filling, recipe follows
3 bananas
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
3 cups milk
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon bourbon

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir the flour and sugar together. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle on 3 to 4 tablespoons of the eggy water, and mix it in with your fingers just until the dough comes together into a ball. Working on a lightly floured surface, take egg-sized pieces of the dough and smear them away from you with the heel of your hand into 6-inch streaks. Scrape up all the streaks of dough and pile them on top of one another to form a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9 1/2-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to 1/8-inch thickness and place in the prepared pan, trimming the edges, and bake until light golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Let cool completely. Pour the butterscotch filling into the pie crust that is still inside the tart pan and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Slice the bananas, making concentric circles and top with sugar. Torch bananas briefly until golden and all the sugar is caramelized.
  • In a bowl, whisk the cornstarch into 1/2 cup of the milk. Let rest for 1 minute, then whisk again. Whisk in the eggs, yolks, and vanilla. In a saucepan, over medium heat, bring the brown sugar, butter, bourbon, and the remaining 2 1/2 cups milk just to the simmering point (it will start to wiggle in the pot). While constantly whisking, slowly drizzle the hot liquid into the egg mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and, while constantly whisking and scraping the bottom of the pot, cook until tiny bubbles boil up for 10 seconds. Remove from the heat and strain.
