How about a mint twist to your banana cream pie?
Metromint Banana Cream Pie
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup Peppermint Metromint
3 egg yolks, beaten
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 9" pie crust, pre baked
4 bananas, sliced
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sugar, flour and salt in a saucepan. Mix whipping cream and Metromint and add gradually to saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the mixture bubbles gently. Turn heat to low and continue stirring for about 2 more minutes, and then remove from 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 (keep stirring). Remove from stove, and add butter and vanilla. Stir until smooth throughout.
Line the cooled baked pastry shell with sliced bananas. Top with pudding mixture. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Chill before serving. Optional - top with whipped cream.
