BANANA AND COCONUT CREAM PIE WITH GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a 9-inch pie plate with butter to grease.
• In a medium bowl, stir to combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt, then press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish. Bake until lightly golden and crisp, 12 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the pie: Whisk the granulated sugar and flour together in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Whisk in the milk, coconut milk, condensed milk, coconut extract and vanilla extract. Whisking occasionally, bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then temper the egg yolks: carefully remove a cup of the hot milk mixture and whisk in the beaten eggs yolks. Add the yolk mixture to the milk and then add the butter. Remove from the heat and fold in the bananas, then transfer the pie filling to the cooled graham cracker crust.
• Cover the pie with plastic wrap, placing the wrap directly onto the surface of the filling. Chill until completely set, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Whip the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form, then spoon the whipped cream over the chilled pie. Garnish with toasted coconut chips and slice to serve.

BANANA COCONUT CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Make the shell:
• In a food processor or bowl combine well the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, and the salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles fine meal. Stir in all but 1 tablespoon of the coconut, reserving the remaining 1 tablespoon for garnish, and the egg, stirring until the mixture forms a dough. Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface several times to blend it well and press it onto the bottom and up the side of an 11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill the shell for 30 minutes, line it with foil, and fill the foil with the rice. Bake the shell in the lower third of a preheated 375°F. oven for 10 minutes, remove the rice and foil carefully, and bake the shell for 5 to 10 minutes more, or until it is golden. Let the shell cool completely in the pan or a rack.
• Make the filling:
• In a heavy saucepan whisk together the sugar, the cornstarch, and the eggs, add the milk in a slow stream, whisking, and bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, whisking constantly. Simmer the pastry cream, whisking, for 2 minutes, transfer it to a bowl, and stir in the coconut extract, the vanilla, and the Malibu rum. Chill the pastry cream, its surface covered with plastic wrap, for 4 hours, or until it is cold. The pastry cream may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
• Slice thin on the diagonal enough of the bananas (about 2 1/2) to cover the bottom of the shell in one layer, arrange the slices in the shell, and cover them with the pastry cream, spreading it evenly. Slice thin on the diagonal the remaining bananas and arrange the slices decoratively over the pastry cream in solid layers, making each layer gradually smaller. In a small saucepan melt the apple jelly over moderate heat, while it is still warm brush it over the banana slices, coating them completely, and chill the tart for 1 hour. The tart may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered loosely and chilled.
• Just before serving, in a chilled bowl beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks, transfer it to a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip, and pipe it decoratively around the edge of the tart. Sprinkle the cream with the reserved 1 tablespoon coconut and remove the side of the pan.

BANANA COCONUT CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Open the puff pastry and remove one of the sheets and let it thaw at room temperature for about 40 minutes.
• Spread your unsweetened flaked coconut on a baking sheet and toast at 350'F for 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on this as it will brown very fast. Remove as soon as the ends of the coconut become golden. Let cool.
• For The Pudding:.
• Prepare the pudding according to the package directions "except" only use one cup of non- dairy milk. This will make the pudding thicker. Once the pudding boils add 1 cup of coconut whipped cream.
• Give it a good whisk to incorporate.
• Take it off the heat and add the vegan gelatin and whisk again to break up the gelatin. Whisk for a few minutes until the mixture is smooth. Put a lid on it and set aside for now.
• Preheat oven to 400'F.
• To prepare the puff pastry crust:.
• After the puff pastry has thawed out roll it out to fit into a 9" pie dish. If any holes develop, use water to glue the pastry back together.
• Place the rolled out pastry into the pie pan and make sure you get all the air bubbles out from underneath. Prick with a fork.
• Place it into the preheated oven for 15 minutes. I re-pricked the pastry about 7 minutes into the cooking as it did puff up more.
• Once the puff pastry is golden remove from the oven and put it on a metal rack to cool slightly.
• Place enough of the sliced banana onto the puff pastry crust to cover the bottom (and sides if you wish).
• Give the pudding another whisk and then pour it on top of the sliced bananas. Spread it evenly then top with more banana slices.
• Then spread the remaining two cups of coconut whipped cream on top of the banana slices. Spread it out evenly.
• Sprinkle the toasted coconut over the coconut whipped cream Put it into the fridge and let it chill for at least 3-4 hours.
• Bon Appetit!
