This is a "cream" pie, similar to using Jello-o cooked pudding and pie filling. Here is a nice website with lots of helpful pie information Also, for the people who think this has to be cooked, you are confusing it with a true "custard" pie, like a Sugar Pie, Egg Custard, Pumpkin or a Pecan Pie. So, if you're not letting it REALLY boil and using flour, it won't set up all the way. Corn starch thickens a little quicker it will start thickening the pudding before it actually comes to a boil. Flour has to actually boil for a couple of minutes to achieve its thickening properties. Oh yes, and do not substitute skim milk- it will also negatively affect the consistency of the custard.įor the cooks new to making scratch cream pies, here is a little help to prevent runny pies that didn't set up. To really wow your guests, consider whipping your own sweetened cream instead of the whipped topping. I suppose if I added the bananas, it would that much better. banana liquer into the custard along with the butter and vanilla.

BTW, I once made this pie without the bananas. The line should stay distinct and not meld together so easily. With your finger, mark a line down the back of the spoon. If the custard is at a constant simmer, keep stirring and dip a spoon into it. Remember: the custard should be at a constant SIMMER meaning, small bubbles should be forming around the edges for about 3-5 minutes.
CREAM PIE X FULL
I must add, a baked-from-scratch pie crust is unparelleled in flavor and texture, so those who are intimidated: PLEASE DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND TRY IT! YOU WILL SHUN STORE-BOUGHT BRANDS =) Some of us have claimed the filling was runny I highly suspect that the custard was not cooked to its full thickness. I've baked DOZENS of pies in the last 7 years, and I've never come across a banana cream pie that was baked. I can't agree more with 'kate'- DEFINITELY DO NOT BAKE THIS PIE. So, so good for a hot summer afternoon or picnic. The secret is in the cooking and getting a feel for when it is thick enough, then chilling before use.
CREAM PIE X HOW TO
Take a look at some of the Homemade Vanilla Pudding recipes & reviews for more tips on how to make great pudding. But it was a good basic start, and with these few tips, you can expect great results that avoid the other negative reviewers issues. Now, I realize if you follow my directions, it's not the same recipe. DO NOT bake this pie after assembling! It will gum up your pudding and dry the whole pie out. CHILL the pudding for at least 2 hours before putting in crust.
CREAM PIE X CRACKER
Use a pre-baked and COOLED graham cracker or vanilla wafer crust. Unless you WANT pudding skin, cover the surface of the pudding with saran wrap. I use a full Tablespoon of vanilla, but that's me! 6. Put sugar, CS, salt and milk in pan all together and start stirring over low heat. 3 Tablespoons of CS rather than 1/3 cup flour. Let the pudding cool slightly (you can stick your finger in it and leave it for a while without burning) before tempering eggs and adding all together. It will take a lot longer than 2 minutes. Must cook over VERY low heat and stir constantly, until THICKENED. Must use whole milk for pudding or it will be runny.

The citric acid will keep them from turning brown quickly. Dip banana slices into either lemon juice or Sprite. Probably would have been 5 without my changes.
