BANANA CREAM PIE

Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs reserve 1 1/2 tablespoons
6 tablespoons butter melted
1/3 cup sugar
Filling
2 bananas sliced
1 1/4 cups 2% milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 large egg yolks room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Whipped Topping
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
bananas for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press into a 9-inch pie dish and bake in the oven for 7 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, layer the bottom and sides with banana slices.
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 bubbling. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks together. Remove 1/2 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. Cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly. It should be fairly thick and leave a whisk trail as you drag the whisk through it. It would also pile slightly when poured, as in the picture of the pudding being added to the pie crust.
