Banana Cream Pie With Rum Caramel Sauce Recipes

BANANA CREAM PIE I

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Add milk in gradually while stirring gently. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbly. Keep stirring and cook for about 2 more minutes, and then remove from the burner.
• Stir a small quantity of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks, and immediately add egg yolk mixture to the rest of the hot mixture. Cook for 2 more minutes; remember to keep stirring. Remove the mixture from the stove, and add butter and vanilla. Stir until the whole thing has a smooth consistency.
• Slice bananas into the cooled baked pastry shell. Top with pudding mixture.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes. Chill for an hour.

BANANA CARAMEL CREAM PIE

Steps:

• For the pie:.
• In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, mix together the sugar, salt, cornstarch, and flour. Over medium-low heat, slowly whisk in the milk.
• In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks. Once the pastry cream starts to boil, transfer 1/2 cup of the pastry cream to the egg yolks and whisk to temper. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Continue whisking until the mixture coats the back of a spoon and is smooth and thick. Strain.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, and vanilla. Stir in 1 cup sliced bananas. Allow the mixture to cool.
• Stir the custard to loosen, if necessary. Cover the bottom of the prepared crust with more sliced bananas and drizzle with 1/4 cup Salted Caramel Sauce. Top with half of the sliced bananas, then 1 cup custard, covering the bananas completely. Repeat layering with the remaining bananas and the remaining custard. Chill the banana cream pie until the filling is set, about 2 hours.
• For the topping:
• In a medium bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Add the sugar, and vanilla and whip until stiff peaks form.
• Top the chilled pie with the fresh whipped cream. Drizzle with additional Caramel Sauce, just before serving.
• Perfect Pie Dough:.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt and vanilla; cut or work the butter into the flour mixture with your fingers or a cold pastry cutter until you have large pea sized chunks scattered throughout. Alternatively, pulse the dough in a food processor, or mix in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on low speed.
• Add the ice water slowly while stirring with a fork, or in the food processor or mixer, until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, flatten and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Roll out one chilled pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Reserve the second pie dough disc for another use. Transfer dough to pie plate, pressing the dough lightly into the plate; trim the edges. Dock the dough with the prongs of a fork evenly over the bottom of the pie plate. Line the docked dough with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
• Bake the pie crust until the edges are brown and golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the weights. Return crust to the oven to finish baking for another 5 minutes.
• Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie crust.
• Salted Caramel Sauce:.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a boil without stirring. If necessary, use a wet pastry brush to wash down any crystals on the side of the pan. Boil until the syrup is a deep amber color, about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble. Stir in the unsalted butter, and salt, to taste. Transfer the caramel to a dish and cool.
• Yield: 1 1/2 cups sauce.
• Cook's Note:
• This recipe will last in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat before serving.

BANANA RUM CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Stir together crumbs, butter, curry powder, cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl with a fork until combined well. Reserve 1 tablespoon crumb mixture for garnish and press remaining crumb mixture evenly onto bottom and up side of pie plate. Bake crust 10 minutes, then cool completely in pie plate on a rack, about 20 minutes.
• Beat together cream cheese, zest, and remaining 6 tablespoons brown sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
• Beat cream with rum in another bowl with cleaned beaters at medium speed until it holds soft peaks. Gently stir one third of whipped cream into cream cheese mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whipped cream gently but thoroughly.
• Thinly slice bananas and arrange evenly over bottom of crust. Spread all of cream filling over bananas, then sprinkle reserved crumb mixture over top. Chill pie, loosely covered, 20 minutes.

CARAMELIZED BANANA WITH RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté banana, cut sides down, shaking skillet, 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat (away from flame) and sprinkle brown sugar around banana, then pour rum around banana. Return skillet to heat and continue to sauté, shaking skillet occasionally, until sugar begins to melt, about 30 seconds.
• Add water, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt and cook over moderate heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Serve banana hot, sprinkled with nuts.

BANANA CRUMB CAKE WITH CARAMEL RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Make caramel rum sauce and crumb topping, cover and set aside. Each can be made up to 2 weeks earlier, stored in the refrigerator. (You can also make the caramel rum sauce while the cake is baking.)
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x8 inch square pan.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugars, egg and egg whites on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 min. If you're using a standing mixer, use the whisk attachment.
• Chop the bananas into chunks and add to the butter-sugar-egg mixture. If you're using a hand held mixer, mash the bananas into the batter a bit with the beaters before turning the mixer on. If using a standing mixer, switch to the paddle attachment. Beat the bananas into the batter until well incorporated. You will still have small pea-size chunks, which is ok.
• In a medium size bowl mix the flour, baking soda and salt with a wire whisk until combined.
• Mix the vanilla and milk in a measuring cup.
• Add the flour mixture and vanilla-milk mixture to the banana batter in alternating additions, starting and ending with the flour (1/3 of the flour mixture, 1/2 of the milk, 1/3 of the flour mixture, rest of the milk, rest of the flour mixture). After each addition beat the batter on medium speed just long enough to incorporate, scrapping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as necessary. Don't over mix.
• Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Top with 3 cups of crumb topping. The trick to getting large crumbs is to squeeze the topping together in your hand as you place it on the cake batter.
• Bake for 60-65 minutes, until the center isn't jiggly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool on a wire rack about 20 minutes, until still warm but not hot.
• Drizzle 1/4 - 1/2 cup of the caramel rum sauce over the top of the cake. With a knife, gently poke holes all over the cake, encouraging some caramel rum sauce to seep into the holes. Use the knife to cover each small hole with sauce. With the knife, gently press the sides of the cake away from the pan and allow some sauce to drizzle down the sides.
• Serve with additional caramel rum sauce, warmed slightly, for those people (like me) who think you can never have too much.

CARAMEL BANANA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Crush your graham crackers into a fine crumb. (It should make about 1½ cups).
• Mix together the sugar with the graham cracker crumb in a medium sized bowl.
• Pour the melted butter over the top of the crumb and mix it all together until you have a nice sandy mixture.
• Pour the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch pie crust pan and press down evenly on the bottom and up the edges of the pan.
• Cut the bananas into slices and lay them over your graham cracker crust.
• Combine the caramels and heavy cream in a small sauce pan. Heat over medium until the caramels are melted and smooth, stirring the whole time.
• Pour the caramel over the banana slices. (You can save about 1/4 cup of the caramel to reheat later and pour over the pie)
• Add the pudding mixes into a large bowl and add the milk and stir it together for a couple of minutes, until combined.
• Add 1 cup of the cool whip to the pudding mixture and fold it into the pudding.
• Pour the pudding mixture over caramel and smooth it across the top top. Place it in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours.
• Top with remaining cool whip and additional bananas before serving.
• Drizzle with remaining caramel sauce (reheated) if desired.
