Coconut Banana Cream Pie
Coconut Banana Cream Pie is a delicious dessert that combines the tropical flavors of coconut and banana in a creamy, dreamy pie. This dessert is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
To make this Coconut Banana Cream Pie, you will need the following ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
For the topping:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Next, in a saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Stir in the sliced bananas. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
Bake the pie for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
For the topping, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie and sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes.
This Coconut Banana Cream Pie is a perfect combination of creamy, sweet, and tropical flavors. The crust is buttery and crisp, while the filling is rich and creamy with a hint of coconut and banana. The whipped cream topping adds a light and fluffy texture, and the toasted coconut flakes add a delicious crunch.
