Oh, well heyyy Friday!!
I am so happy you came!! Although, I can’t believe how fast you arrived (it was a busy week), but hey, no complaining here!
So I’m feeling very on point and straight forward today. I really just want to tell you about this banana cream pie and how epic it is. My dad told me it’s his favorite dessert of the moment. But the guy really loves the combo of chocolate, peanuts and bananas, so I kind of knew this would be his thing before he even tried it.
Traditionally banana cream pie has either a flaky buttery crust or a graham cracker crust. You guys know I’m all about switching it up, so I decided to go with a chocolate peanut crust. I know, I know, typical ….me and my chocolate… or in this case, chocolate paired with peanuts.
Always the best. 🙂
The pie starts with a simple chocolate cookie crumb crust, which then that gets filled with the BEST vanilla pudding. I can’t believe how easy it is to create such a yummy pudding, I mean, egg yolks, cream and vanilla beans… magic ingredients.
After you add the vanilla pudding to the crust you’ll want to let it chill until firm, about two to four hours. Not gonna lie though, I took mine out after an hour and it was good enough for me. I really just do not have the patience to wait four hours for something to chill.
Like I just can’t.
ANYWAY, once the pie has chilled comes the super fun part.
All the toppings! YESSSS.
Toppings = LIFE.
Okay, so here’s how it goes. Layer on a whole bunch of sliced bananas. Like a whole bunch, I mean, this is a banana cream pie guys!
Next, whip up a good amount of cream and stir in melted chocolate. This creates a kind of instant chocolate mousse. YUM. Next spread a dollop of that chocolate mousse right on top of the bananas. Then chop up lots of roasted peanuts and melt together some chocolate and coconut oil to create a “magic shell”. Drizzle the “magic shell” over the pie and then quickly sprinkle on those peanuts. The shell will begin to harden.
Next take the remaining whipped cream and layer it over the “magic shell”. Oh man, this is getting too good.
Finish it up with a few more peanuts and slices of banana.
And then ummm??
DEVOUR.
