The success of this wonderfully creamy pie depends on great bananas. Make sure yours are perfectly ripe and sweet, with plenty of brown "sugar spots." For a delicious, tropical variation, stir a few drops of coconut extract into the custard when you add the vanilla.
3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup low-fat (1%) milk
1/2 cup evaporated fat-free milk
2 eggs yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 smallripe bananas , thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice or lemon juice
1 graham crackers crumb crust, prebaked
1/2 cup frozen lite whipped topping
1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the water; let stand 1 minute until softened, then warm over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted, 2 minutes. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the milks and the yolks; whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to bubble, 8-10 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and stir in the dissolved gelatin and the vanilla. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, toss the bananas with the lime juice.
4. Spread 1/3 of the custard into the pie shell. Top evenly with the sliced bananas, then spread the remaining custard evenly over. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
5. Serve each slice with 1 Tbsp of whipped topping, or, for a pretty touch, pipe the whipped topping all along the sides of the pie using a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
