Want to try out another recipe for Father’s day? Here’s The Maya Kitchen’s take on one of my favorite pies.
BANANA CREAM PIE with CARAMEL FUDGE
Pastry:
1 pack MAYA Complete “Quick n’ Easy” Hotcake Mix 200g
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
4 tablespoons water
Filling:
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons MAYA Cornstarch
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 piece egg yolk, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 pieces ripe banana (lacatan), sliced into rounds
Caramel Fudge:
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
Preheat oven at 400°F/ 205°C.
Combine MAYA Complete Hotcake Mix with cocoa powder. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, enough to form a ball of dough. Roll out to 9-inch pie plate. Bake until golden brown. Cool. Prepare filling. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Cook over double broiler stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Gradually stir half of the mixture into the beaten egg yolk. Put back in saucepan and blend. Cook until mixture coats spoon. Blend in butter and vanilla. Cool.
In a bowl, whip half of the cream with powdered sugar until stiff. Chill. In a saucepan, caramelize sugar in low heat then add butter and remaining all purpose cream.
To assemble: Layer half of banana into pie plate – pour the filling. Arrange remaining half of banana and cover and drizzle caramel fudge. Decorate with whipped cream if desired.
