Gluten Free Banana Cream Pie Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE BANANA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Stir together the milk and 1 cup of cream. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/3 cup of the cream mixture. Whisk in the egg yolk.
• Mix 88 grams of sugar (about 1/3 cup), 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and the remaining cream mixture in a heavy saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and remove from heat. Whisk a third of the sugar-and-cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, then stir that into the saucepan. Return to medium heat and stir without stopping, being sure to stir the bottom and sides of the pan, for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Strain into a bowl, cover this pudding with plastic and chill completely, at least 3 hours.
• Stir together the gluten-free flour, sweet rice flour, 8 grams of sugar (about 1 1/2 teaspoons) and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Cut the butter into chunks and, using your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients to form a coarse meal. Make a well. Break the egg into the well. Add the lemon juice. Use a fork to stir from the center, working the flour into the egg to form a soft dough. Shape into a disk and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a pie pan and press the pastry into it in an even layer. If the dough seems very sticky, put a piece of parchment paper on top and pat it out to smooth, then remove it.
• Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To assemble the pie, pour half the pudding into the crust. Slice 2 of the bananas and arrange the slices over the pudding. Pour the remaining pudding on top of the bananas. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly cooled, about 3 hours.
• Just before serving, slice the remaining banana and arrange the slices over the pudding. Whip the remaining cup of cream until stiff. If you like, add confectioners' sugar and remaining 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Spread whipped cream on top or pipe it from a pastry bag.

BANANA-COCONUT CREAM PIE WITH BUTTERMILK CRUST

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat all-purpose and cake flours, powdered sugar and salt with wire whisk. Cut 1/4 cup butter and the shortening into dry ingredients using pastry cutter or your fingertips until mixture looks like tiny pebbles. Not all butter and shortening pieces have to be same size.
• Sprinkle buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, over dry ingredients and mix until all flour is moistened and dough almost leaves side of bowl. Continue to stir until dough comes together. Knead a few times with your hands just to bring it together. Pat dough into a round and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate dough at least 1 hour.
• Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 375°F.
• Spread coconut evenly on ungreased cookie sheet. Toast coconut in oven 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Pour coconut on plate to cool completely.
• Place chilled dough on lightly floured surface. Roll dough into large circle about 1/8 inch thick and 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch pie plate. Place dough in 9-inch glass pie plate. Trim off any excess dough, leaving 1/2-inch overhang. Flute edge of crust. Line dough with piece of buttered foil, buttered side down. Shape foil so all crust is covered with foil. (Foil keeps crust from overbrowning.)
• Bake crust 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Remove foil and bake 10 minutes longer or until dough is lightly browned. Cool to room temperature.
• In 3-quart saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of the toasted coconut, the half-and-half, milk, cream of coconut and granulated sugar to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally (do not boil or mixture may curdle).
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat egg yolks and cornstarch with wire whisk. When milk mixture simmers, use ladle to scoop 1 cup into yolk mixture, beating constantly with wire whisk. Repeat with another cup of milk mixture. Pour egg yolk mixture into simmering cream. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly with rubber spatula, until mixture simmers and thickens. Once thickened, cook 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly.
• Remove custard from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons butter and the vanilla. Cool 10 minutes. Pour half of the custard into cooled pie crust. Sprinkle bananas over custard and top with remaining custard. Smooth top of custard and cover directly with plastic wrap to prevent a tough layer from forming. Refrigerate until filling is cold, at least 2 hours but no more than 24 hours. Before serving, sprinkle with remaining toasted coconut. Store covered in refrigerator.
