Cream Pies

These pies are surprisingly easy to make! You probably have the ingredients in your kitchen already, just get a crust or make your own too!

Banana Cream Pie

Did you know there arent any bananas in a banana cream pie? Well, there are 4 in mine!!

3/4 c sugar

1/3 c flour

1/4 tsp salt

2 c milk

3 egg yolks

2 tbs butter

1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

4 Bananas

2 tbs milk

Combine sugar flour salt and milk, bring to boil and stir for 5 minutes. Spoon a bit of the hot milk mixture into your egg yolks, this will keep the eggs from cooking once you add to the hot mix, its called tempering. Add your eggs and stir viciously over heat for another minute. Take off heat, add butter and vanilla.

In a blender or food processor, blend 3 or 4 bananas with enough milk to make it a liquid. Add this to your hot mixture, stir well, and pour into crust and refridgerate. It doesnt thicken up like other cream pies because of the additional bananas and milk, so I served it in a martini glass!

Chocolate Cream Pie Variations!

3/4 c sugar

1/3 c cornstarch or flour

2 squares of baking chocolate

1/2 tsp salt
