This delicious banana cream dessert is a scrumptious dessert bar recipe that is made with a buttery graham cracker crust, a creamy banana custard filling, and a homemade whipped cream topping and sliced bananas.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare an 11x7 baking dish by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
Graham Cracker Crust
In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. Mix until well combined and mixture is a sand-like texture that clumps together.
Pour crust mixture into prepared baking dish and press down with the back of a measuring cup.
Bake crust in oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
Banana Cream Filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cornstarch, salt, and ¼ cup of milk. Set aside.
In a large pot, mix together sugar and remaining 2 ¾ cups of milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Once mixture comes to a simmer, turn off heat and pour half into the egg yolk mixture and whisk to combine well and then pour into the pot with remaining milk and sugar mixture. Stir in banana extract until well combined.
Stir well until custard thickens.
Spoon custard into crust and spread evenly.
Place a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on top of custard, pressing down lightly to cover the entire pie filling.
Place in the fridge to cool and set up for 2-3 hours.
Homemade Whipped Cream
In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Using a piping bag or gallon size ziplock baggie, pipe whipped cream on top of custard and then top with sliced bananas.
