Chocolate Banana Cream Pie Recipe

OK. Confession time. I don't make this one. I didn't invent the recipe. This is one the real cooks in my family make for me on special occasions. (I love it when they do! This is good!) But please don't deceive yourself: this is not health food.

One pie:

Here are the ingredients:

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsel, divided
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 egg yolks, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup light cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 banana, divided- 1/2 mashed, 1/2 sliced for garnish
• 3 bananas (sliced)
• 1 (9 inch) baked pie crusts (they use a graham cracker crust; even better richer with an Oreo cookie crust.)
  
• whipped cream

Here are the directions:

1. In a saucepan mix together sugar, salt and flour.
2. In a medium bowl combine egg yolks, milk and cream. Mix well.
3. Slowly add milk mixture to dry ingredients in saucepan, stirring with a whisk.
4. Cook over low heat until thick.
5. Remove from heat and add butter and mashed banana. Stir to combine.
6. Slice bananas into the pre-baked pie crust. Over the bananas, put in 1/2 cup of the morsels, spread evenly.
7. Pour filling over bananas and morsels, shake slightly to settle filling.

Refrigerate pie at least 4 hours until well chilled. Garnish top of pie with whipped cream, sliced bananas and the remaining chocolate morsels.
