This Bananas Foster Pie transforms the classic New Orleans dessert into a gooey, caramelized banana pie baked in a flaky or crunchy crust. Perfect for holidays, potlucks, or weekend baking, it’s rich, comforting, and wildly flavorful.

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

  • Optional: 1½ cups crushed Golden Grams cereal

  • ¼ cup melted butter (if using Golden Grams crust)

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (for cereal crust)

For the filling:

  • 4 ripe but firm bananas, sliced

  • ½ cup unsalted butter

  • ¾ cup brown sugar

  • 1½ tsp cinnamon

  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water)

Optional toppings:

 

  • Whipped cream

  • Vanilla ice cream

  • Crushed toasted pecans

  • Caramel drizzle

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • If using a traditional pie crust, pre-bake it for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. For a Golden Grams crust, mix cereal, melted butter, and sugar; press into a pie dish and chill.

  • In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until bubbly and smooth.

  • Add banana slices and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.

  • Stir in cream and vanilla. Once bubbling, add cornstarch slurry. Cook for 1–2 minutes until thickened.

  • Pour filling into crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes until the center is just set.

  • Cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

 

  • Serve with toppings of choice.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are ripe but still firm.

  • For extra crunch, add chopped pecans before baking.

  • Let pie cool before slicing for the best presentation.

 

  • Golden Grams crust adds a toasty twist.
