BANANA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In a medium bowl, stir together crushed wafers, brown sugar, melted butter, and ½ teaspoon salt until well combined. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
• In a medium saucepan, cook milk, cream, granulated sugar, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, just until bubbles form around sides of pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly whisk one-fourth of hot milk mixture into eggs. Whisk egg mixture into remaining milk mixture in saucepan, and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick, about 3 minutes. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, discarding solids. Whisk in vanilla and softened butter until melted and smooth. Cover with plastic wrap, and let cool for 10 minutes.
• Arrange banana slices in bottom of crust. Stir custard, and gently spread onto bananas. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly on surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving or up to overnight. Top with Brown Sugar Whipped Cream just before serving. Garnish with vanilla wafers and banana, if desired.
• In a large bowl, beat all ingredients with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Use immediately.
