1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs (reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons)
6 Tbsp butter melted
1/3 c sugar

2 bananas sliced
1 1/4 c 2% milk
1 c heavy whipping cream

  • 3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat whisk together milk, cream, sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is simmering and slightly thickened. In a medium bowl whisk the egg yolks together. Remove 1 cup of the hot mixture and in a slow stream whisk it into the egg yolk mixture. In a very slow stream whisk the egg mixture into the saucepan cooking until bubbling and thickened whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and butter.
