Chocolate Banana Custard Pie

mmmmmmm......this was simply amazing!!!!! Words cant describe it and pictures don't do it justice!!!

Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham crumbs
1/3 cup butter (melted)

Mix together and press into a 9 inch pie plate. Don't forget to go up the sides as well. Put in fridge to harden.

Meanwhile, melt some chocolate (milk chocolate is my fave!) in a double boiler and spread onto the crust. This gives it a kick of chocolate and once its hard it provides a barrier again the custard softening the crust. I didn't measure the chocolate but it was about 1/2 to 1/3 cup melted. Put back in the fridge to get nice and hard!

Custard:
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
3 cups milk
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla

Put egg yolks, sugar, corn starch and 1/2 cup of the milk in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
Take the rest of the milk (2 1/2 cups) and heat on medium heat until it just starts to bubble.

Now, take your heated milk and add it VERY slowly to the egg mixture. If you heat up the egg mixture too quickly you will have scrambled eggs! Once its all mixed in, put it back on the stove and heat on medium until it starts to thicken up! Then add the vanilla and butter. 
Once its thick, put into bowl and place plastic wrap right on top of the custard. That way there wont be a scum on top of the custard. Put bowl in fridge until it cools.

Assembly:
Pour some custard (don't stir the custard before you put it on!!) over the shell (about 1/2) then cut 2 bananas and place the banana pieces over the custard. Put the rest of the custard on top. Whip some cream and put your nice fluffy whip cream on top, shave chocolate over for a pretty effect!! To save on the sugar/fat I used margarine and I didn't add any sugar to my whip cream. It really is sweet enough with the chocolate and bananas!

As I said....yummy!!!
