Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the chosen crust by blind baking it until lightly golden, about 10 to 15 minutes at 375°F (190°C). Allow it to cool completely.
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually add milk over medium heat, stirring continuously for 8-10 minutes until thickened.
  3. Once thickened, stir in beaten egg yolks and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Mix in butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the reserved egg whites with remaining sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold whipped egg whites into the cooled custard mixture.
  6. Layer sliced bananas in the cooled crust and pour the custard over the bananas, smoothing it out.
  7. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours for best flavor.
  8. Top the pie with whipped cream just before serving.
