Ingredients

For crust:
Gluten-Free Pantry Perfect Pie Crust Mix

For filling:
1 cup heavy cream
6 ounces gf semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
Pinch of salt
3 large ripe bananas, sliced crosswise about 1-1/2 inches thick
1-1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1/4 teaspoon gf vanilla
2 cups Banana Brittle recipe, (optional)

Directions

For pastry:
Follow Gluten-Free Pantry Perfect Pie Mix package instructions. Shape prepared dough into a disk, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes, or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Roll dough between two sheets of parchment or wax paper to an 11-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim dough overhang to 1/2 inch, folding it under itself and crimp decoratively.

Freeze pie shell until firm, about 10 minutes.

Bake pie shell for 25 minutes or until golden. Let cool on a rack.

For filling:
In a small saucepan, heat cream just until boiling. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate until melted. Transfer to a bowl and add salt. Refrigerate, stirring often, until cooled and thickened, about 45 minutes.

Arrange banana slices vertically in pie shell in concentric circles. Pour chocolate over bananas and refrigerate until firm.

Meanwhile, heat milk in a heavy saucepan.

In a bowl, mix sugar and cornstarch. Stir in egg yolks, then whisk mixture into milk.

Whisk over low heat until custard thickens and almost comes to a boil, about 4 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl, adding coconut and vanilla and let stand until cooled, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.

Spread coconut custard over pie and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.

Optional: Just prior to serving, arrange Banana Brittle recipe, over top of pie.
