Chocolate banana cream pie

By Milena Manolova Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

Can I just say that this Chocolate Banana Cream Pie is the bomb!!!

Crumbly texture, with layers of melted chocolate and creamy banana filling. I know there is a lot of people who don’t like bananas for some strange reasons (I’m glad I’m not one of them). But this baby is truly delicious.

Easy to make, but also easily adjustable for any dietary restrictions. The filling has no dairy or butter, but you wouldn’t be able to tell, because its super creamy. The crust does have butter, but you can definitely use a dairy-free option. For gluten allergies, the crust can be made with gluten-free flour instead.

What is really great about this recipe is that all the ingredients are available all year round, which mean you can make it anytime, as much as you want. And who doesn’t like that!

When I was a child, bananas weren’t available 24/7 like they are now. I grew up in a small town by the sea and my grandmother and I would go for a walk to the farmers market every week to get some groceries and of course, bananas! Knowing I will be getting a treat made me the happiest child at that moment, my life was complete, hehe…

I wish I can go back in time just to experience this moment ones again and see my grandmother.

This is why I love food and cooking, it takes me back to certain moments in my life, which can be happy or sad, but moments that made me be who I am now.

The secret for the creamy filling is the combination of cashews, coconut condensed milk, and bananas. That’s right!!

And no, it doesn’t taste like coconut if you are concerned about that. If you don’t have coconut condensed milk and don’t mind the dairy, you can definitely use regular condensed milk. I have tried both and works great with either.

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 255 g AP Flour 1 3/4 C
  • 50 g Raw Cane Sugar 1/4 C
  • 2 g Baking Powder 1/2 Tsp
  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter diced and softened
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • Pinch salt

Filling:

  • 1 C Cashews
  • 420 g Coconut condensed milk 2 C
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
  • 85 g Dark Chocolate 1/2 C
  • 2 bananas
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 375F
  2. In a bowl combine all the ingredients for the crust. Mix using your hands till everything is incorporated and you are able to shape a ball. Flatten the ball into a 1-inch thick disk. Wrap in plastic and transfer to the fridge, while you prepare the filling.

  3. For the filling, you can soak the cashews overnight or for at least 4 hours. If you haven’t done that you can speed up the process and soak them in a hot water for about 20 min. Ones they are soaked, drain the water and transfer the cashews into a blender. Add the condensed milk, vanilla, one banana and pinch of salt. Blend on high till smooth and creamy.
  4. Take the crust out of the fridge and roll it into about 1/4inch thickness. If you can’t roll it so thin, you can transfer it into a 9” springform and use your hands to spread it evenly and to the sides about 1-1 ½ inch tall edge. 

    Pinch few holes in the crust using a fork. Put it back in the fridge. Roughly chop the chocolate. Slice the other banana into a thin coin shape, about a 1/8 inch thick. When you are done take the springform out of the fridge and sprinkle the chocolate over the crust. Add the filling on top and cover the top with the thinly sliced banana.

  5. Transfer to the oven on the middle rack. Bake for about 55min. When the top starts to turn golden and the edges of the crust start to brown, the pie is ready. Let it cool off a bit before you take it out from the springform.
  6. Keep at room temperature for up to 3 days. In the fridge up to a week, if it last that long!

New recipe went up on the blog over the weekend!! New recipe went up on the blog over the weekend!! This Cardamom Golden Raisin Scones! I love this flavor combination, cardamom and golden raising just go together so well. 
Who else likes cardamom? I think it has very unique and distinctive taste. Adding too much of it can overwhelm a dish, so need to be careful with that. But the right amount will make it so tasty!! 

What do you think 👍or 👎for cardamom? And why?

I hope you like is as much as I do, and go make this scone recipe. Its easy and delicious!!

Today is one of those days when I don't want to do Today is one of those days when I don't want to do anything but just lay in bed and watch movies. 
But, I still have to finish few things. 
When it comes to movies do you like watching animations? I do😁, I think there are a lot of great movies out there. But I also like watching some classic cartoons from when I was a child. Looney  Tunes was my favorite! Also Ну, погоди, which is a Russian cartoon about a wolf and a rubbit. The Flintstones is also great! 

How about you? Do you have a favorite childhood cartoons?

For this #eatcaptureshare theme I'm going with this mini pies inspired by Snow White famous pie scene.

Hi friends, how are you today? I'm sharing today Hi friends, how are you today?

I'm sharing today some product shots I did outside few days ago. Its nice to change the environment ones in a while and get away from the usual places we are used to. 
I found this spot few weeks ago when I was taking a walk with Juno and I new I wanted to shoot there. I love the different textures from the rocks, it creates the perfect background! 
I'm always looking for locations and interesting places where I can create and try something different. Its refreshing and makes you see light different ways.

Today was such a nice day, felt like spring. Had t Today was such a nice day, felt like spring. Had the door to the balcony open, with fresh breeze and sunlight coming through. 

I did the photoshoot for an Orange Mascarpone Cake, which recipe is coming very soon and its divine! 

The next #eatcaptureshare theme had to be inspired by nature and since I've been thinking a lot about summer lately, I thought this beautiful basket of fruits is the perfect representation of all the food mother nature is providing us with. And now I really can't wait for summer!!
