SOUTHERN BANANA PUDDING PIE

Ingredients

• 2-3 ripe bananas peeled and sliced
• Pie Crust
• 1 11 oz box vanilla wafers
• 1/2 cup butter melted
• Vanilla Custard
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 4 egg yolks
• 2 cups milk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla paste
• Meringue
• 4 egg whites
• 1/2 cup sugar

InstructionsPie Crust

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Put all of the vanilla wafers in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and process until the wafers are crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse to thoroughly combine the crumbs and butter.
• Pour this crumb mixture into a nine-inch pie plate and firmly press the mixture down onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan. You can use the bottom of a glass with a smooth surface to help press everything down evenly.
• Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until it has lightly browned. Remove and place on a wire rack. Let cool for 30 minutes.
• Arrange the banana slices on the cooled pie crust and set aside.
• Vanilla Custard
• To make the Vanilla Custard, combine the sugar, flour, egg yolks, eggs, and milk in a medium-size saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk constantly until the custard thickens, this should take from 8-10 minutes. The mixture should be thick and hold soft peaks when the whisk is lifted. Blend in the vanilla extract or vanilla paste.
• Pour this mixture over the vanilla wafer crust and bananas. Smooth the surface and set aside.
• Meringue
• Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium until they are white and frothy. Increase the speed to high and begin slowly adding the sugar, about a tablespoon at a time. Continue beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form and the sugar has dissolved.
• Spread the meringue evenly over the pie and seal the edges.
• Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 hour on a wire rack. Chill for 4 hours before serving.
