Banana Cream Pie has always been my absolute favorite kind of pie, I am actually ashamed to admit I did not try one until I was well into my 20’s, ugh! I just never got the opportunity to try one, but once I did I was in absolute heaven. There is nothing to not like, plus is is very easy to make and even easier to eat. Banana Cream Pie is always a crowd pleaser so don’t shy away from making it for any get together or event. This gluten free crust is allergen friendly, perfectly cinnamon-y and buttery.

How To Make Banana Cream Pie

  1. In a food processor add your almond flour, coconut flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, xanthan gum, apple cider vinegar, and butter. Pulse until you get a crumbly mixture. Add in your egg and pulse until a dough forms.
  2. Form a ball of dough in plastic wrap. Freeze your dough for 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 inch pie dish, set aside.
  4. Remove your dough from the freezer.  Place the dough on top of a large piece of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough until it is around 11 inches wide (round). If your dough is too soft place in your freezer again for 15 minutes. Carefully place your crust in the bottom of your prepared pie dish, push the dough down and close any cracks that may have formed. Using a fork, poke holes all over your crust. Bake crust for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  5. Once your crust has cooled, layer your sliced bananas in even layers on top of your crust.
  6. In a large saucepan, combine milk, butter, and sugar. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; slowly add in your egg yolks while constantly whisking. Continue cook and whisk for 5-10 more minutes, until mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat.
  7. Remove from heat. Strain into a bowl and whisk in vanilla, gelatin, and xanthan gum. Whisk until smooth. Allow to cool in bowl for 15 minutes.
  8. Pour your custard in your crust over top of your banana slices. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, overnight is ideal.
  9. Once custard has set, whisk your whipping cream and powdered sugar on high until stiff peak form. Spread over top of your pie, slice and enjoy!
