Share recipe
Description
I do not have the willpower to turn down a piece of this pie, no matter how full I am... it's that good.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 3 cups low-fat milk
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
- 4 bananas
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the graham-cracker crumbs with the butter and brown sugar in a medium bowl, and stir well. Transfer the mixture to a 10 inch pie plate, and pat it evenly along the bottom and sides.
- 2. Bake the crust for 7 to 9 minutes, or until edges darken slightly. Let the crust cool.
- 3. Melt the chocolate with the 2 tablespoons cream over simmering water in the top of a double broiler or in a heat proof bowl set on top of a saucepan. Whisk the chocolate and cream until they form a smooth liquid. Take the pan off the heat, and spoon the chocolate mixture onto the graham-cracker crust. Let the chocolate cool for at least 15 minutes.
- 4. Meanwhile, make the filling. Heat the milk in a heavy bottomed saucepan. When the milk is just about to boil, take the pan off of the heat.
- 5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and flour. Slowly add the hot milk to the bowl, whisking constantly. Then transfer the mixture to the saucepan.
- 6. Whisking constantly, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, and continue whisking while it boils for 3 minutes. Take the pan off the heat, and add the 2 tablespoons whiskey. Let the filling cool for 20 minutes.
- 7. Slice the bananas, and toss them with the lemon juice. Lay the banana slices on the chocolate lined crust. Pour the filling over and chill the pie for at least 2 hours.
- 8. Whip one cup cream to stiff peaks, add 2 tablespoons whiskey and serve with pie.
