That’s right, instead of baking we’re just chilling the pie before serving!
Smooth it so that it’s well distributed, then cover with plastic wrap so that it touches the filling and refrigerate for 2-4 hours until cold. Add banana slices to the bottom of the cooled pie crust, and then pour the filling on top. Once it has a custard-like texture, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla, bourbon & butter.
Pay attention as this can happen quickly. Place the pan over medium heat and keep whisking until the mixture gets warm, slightly boils, and starts to thicken. Whisk it well so that the milk doesn’t turn the yolks into scrambled eggs! Continue with the rest of the milk. Once it starts to simmer, remove it from the heat and whisk 1/3 cup of hot milk into your egg mixture. Add milk to a separate, small pot and bring it to a slight simmer without boiling it. While the crust is cooling, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large saucepan until smooth. Bake the crust for just about 10 minutes, then let it cool completely. Press into the bottom and sides so that a nice crust forms - using a small measuring cup can help! The mixture will be like wet sand, and you’ll then pour it into your pan. Next, pulse the nutter butters in your food processor, add melted butter, and pulse again until combined. You’ll start by greasing a 9-inch springform pan or a deep dish pie pan. These are the basics, but be sure to read each instruction in the actual recipe at the bottom of the post very carefully to ensure success: Now that you have all of your ingredients, it’s time to layer this baby up.
