Banana cream pie made with pureed bananas?

[Violatp]

Some time back, I saw part of a PBS show where they made a banana cream pie, not in the usual pastry cream plus bananas way, but with whole liquified bananas that were the actual base of the pastry cream!

I can't remember any more details beyond that, though. If it was overripe bananas or if they microwaved them or how the custard was made...

My google-fu is failing me and I am really wanting to make this pie.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Kate Zuckerman has a recipe like this in her excellent book "The Sweet Life". See the variation at the end of this link. It's a great recipe.

Oh, that does look like a good recipe! Love the toffee bits.

You may have seen this on America's Test Kitchen, for me it's like a baby food pie. Gota have some texture.

It definitely wasn't ATK, but I agree with you about the texture. I would still layer it with sliced bananas - banana double whammy!

are you wanting to avoid using eggs or dairy?

or make something without chunky banana bits?

Nah, I'm fine with eggs and dairy. Thanks for finding those links! I don't think either is exactly what she did but they're a good start.

I think I remember the banana puree being heated...

I may just give it a shot with the bits I remember and use the above links as guides.
