Banana Cream Pie With Chocolate

Recipe Ingredients

1		Pie shell - unbaked
3 oz	85g	Bittersweet chocolate - finely grated
		For The Custard
2		Eggs - lightly beaten (large)
1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Sugar
2 cups	474ml	Light cream
1 teaspoon	5ml	Vanilla extract
		For the topping
2		Bananas - ripe (large)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Orange juice
1 tablespoon	15ml	Coffee-flavored liqueur - optional
1 cup	237ml	Heavy cream
2 tablespoons	30ml	Confectioner's sugar - or to taste
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Vanilla extract
		Fresh nutmeg - grated

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Put the pie shell on a cookie sheet and scatter the chocolate in the shell. To make the custard, mix together the eggs, sugar, cream, and vanilla. Pour into the pastry shell and carefully put it in the oven. Bake until the custard is nearly set in the middle, about 40 minutes. Let the custard cool, then cover and chill.

Right before serving, peel and slice the bananas, and toss them with the orange juice and coffee liqueur. Spread the slices on the custard. Whip the heavy cream, sweeten it with confectioner's sugar, and flavor with vanilla. Spread the cream over the bananas, dust with nutmeg, and chill until serving time. Don't let the completed pie wait long.
