Frozen Banana Cream Pie Food

BANANA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the crust in a food processor and pulse until the dough comes together into a ball.
• Transfer the dough to a pie plate and press into the base and up the sides in an even layer. Smooth and crimp the edges.
• Place the pie plate into the freezer for 15 minutes while you preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
• When the dough has chilled, dock with a fork (to create small holes for air to escape). Line the pastry with parchment paper, add baking weights (raw beans or rice work well). Place in the oven and Allow the pastry to blind bake for 15 minutes. Remove the baking weights and parchment paper and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
• To make the filling, heat the milk, cream and sugar over medium heat in a saucepan. Take care not to allow it to catch and burn.
• In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and flours together. Slowly whisk in a ladle-full of the hot milk mixture to temper the eggs.
• Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk and whilst whisking continuously, allow to thicken and cook. The mixture will become thick and shiny.
• Remove the custard from the heat and pass through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Whisk in the butter.
• Spread two tablespoons of custard onto the base of the pie crust. Follow with an even layer of sliced bananas. Top with the remaining custard. Spray a piece of parchment paper with cooking spray and press onto the surface of the custard to avoid a skin forming.
• Place in the fridge to set for 4-6 hours.
• When you're ready to serve, whisk the cream with the sugar until firm peaks form. Top the pie with more sliced bananas and add the whipped cream before serving.

BANANA CREAM PIE III

• Slice 2 of the bananas and arrange in bottom of baked and cooled pastry shell.
• Pour cold milk into a medium bowl. Add pudding mix and whisk until thoroughly combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of the whipped topping. Pour into pastry shell.
• Chill at least 3 hours before serving. Garnish with remaining whipped topping and slices of the remaining banana.

CHOCOLATE BANANA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Whip heavy cream and a Tablespoon of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped cream. Spread in the bottom of pie crust.
• Slice bananas and set over cream cheese layer.
• Whisk chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth. Spread pudding over bananas. Chill for 5 minutes.
• Spread remaining whipped cream over pudding. Sprinkle chocolate curls over whipped cream if desired.
• Let chill for an hour or two. Cut and serve!

BANANA CARAMEL CREAM PIE

Steps:

• For the pie:.
• In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, mix together the sugar, salt, cornstarch, and flour. Over medium-low heat, slowly whisk in the milk.
• In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks. Once the pastry cream starts to boil, transfer 1/2 cup of the pastry cream to the egg yolks and whisk to temper. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Continue whisking until the mixture coats the back of a spoon and is smooth and thick. Strain.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, and vanilla. Stir in 1 cup sliced bananas. Allow the mixture to cool.
• Stir the custard to loosen, if necessary. Cover the bottom of the prepared crust with more sliced bananas and drizzle with 1/4 cup Salted Caramel Sauce. Top with half of the sliced bananas, then 1 cup custard, covering the bananas completely. Repeat layering with the remaining bananas and the remaining custard. Chill the banana cream pie until the filling is set, about 2 hours.
• For the topping:
• In a medium bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add the sugar, and vanilla and whip until stiff peaks form.
• Top the chilled pie with the fresh whipped cream. Drizzle with additional Caramel Sauce, just before serving.
• Perfect Pie Dough:.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt and vanilla; cut or work the butter into the flour mixture with your fingers or a cold pastry cutter until you have large pea sized chunks scattered throughout. Alternatively, pulse the dough in a food processor, or mix in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on low speed.
• Add the ice water slowly while stirring with a fork, or in the food processor or mixer, until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, flatten and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Roll out one chilled pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Reserve the second pie dough disc for another use. Transfer dough to pie plate, pressing the dough lightly into the plate; trim the edges. Dock the dough with the prongs of a fork evenly over the bottom of the pie plate. Line the docked dough with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
• Bake the pie crust until the edges are brown and golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the weights. Return crust to the oven to finish baking for another 5 minutes.
• Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie crust.
• Salted Caramel Sauce:.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a boil without stirring. If necessary, use a wet pastry brush to wash down any crystals on the side of the pan. Boil until the syrup is a deep amber color, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble. Stir in the unsalted butter, and salt, to taste. Transfer the caramel to a dish and cool.
• Yield: 1 1/2 cups sauce.
• Cook's Note:
• This recipe will last in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat before serving.
