Graham Cracker Crust

Make the Filling

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot mixture to the yolks, then whisk back into the saucepan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly before adding sliced bananas.
Assemble the Pie
  1. Pour the banana filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading evenly.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Prepare the Topping
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  2. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie before serving.
