You Want Pies With That: Double Decker Banana Creme Brulee Pie
This month’s You Want Pies with That? Challenge comes from Nic and Carrie. Here’s their description of Resolution Breaker Pie:
“With it being the New Year and a time for us all to make (and usually break) resolutions, our theme is the Resolution Breaker Pie. A pie that sounds so decadent and delicious that you simply can’t resist. A crust so buttery and flaky you quickly call dibs on a 2nd slice. A filling so gooey and creamy that you dig out your fat pants without remorse. A pie so fantastic you begin hatching a plan to keep the whole pie for yourself…… of course telling the entire family that the dog/cat/drunk Uncle Ed ate the whole thing and sadly there will be no pie tonight.”
When I thought of the desserts I love most, I thought of creamy, gooey pies and creme brulee. Thus, the Double Decker Banana Creme Brulee Pie was born. Of course, I did it in miniature to make sure we didn’t go too crazy with the sweets. Components:
-Graham Cracker Crust
-Fresh Bananas
-Banana Creme Layer
-Creme Brulee Layer
-Crispy Sugar Coating
Sounds great, right?
It didn’t go quite as well as planned. The graham crust wasn’t strong enough to hold all of the custard on its own, the two creme layers were indistinguishable and didn’t hold up to cutting, and the sugar coating became too hard to cut through cleanly without reheating the sugar. It turned out to be more of a spoon dessert than a pie. Still delicious though.

Oh, man. That pie sounds like heaven. I’m glad it’s only on my screen and not in front of me!

Functional or not, I still want to wrap myself in that pie and float away!
