A couple people asked about the vodka in the crust so I just want to clarify that it burns off during baking. Basically it helps bring the dough together without activating the gluten. :)
I love this recipe! I didn't have corn starch but the potato starch worked just as well. I used apple cider vinegar instead of the vodka. My grandmother used vinegar in her crust.
I tried making this once because I was bored and I had the ingredients on hand and now this is my go-to pie when my family asks for a sweet treat! ❤❤ Thank you so much! This was an easy and delicious recipe.
My husband saw the video before I did. So while at Costco he was getting some of the ingredients. I was like...What's all this? It's for the banana cream pie he said all giddy like a little boy. The what.....wait...did preppy kitchen post a video? YES !!! he said as he walked away giggling. Just saw the video...now I know what all the fuss is about. Hope our end result looks like yours 😄.
I followed his instructions to the T! But, my first pie was super runny. If anyone is making this you definitely have to put more egg yolks, at least 4 and do 2 cups milk instead of three! Also, 1/4 cup cornstarch is definitely not enough put 1/3 cup instead. But, the recipe is still bomb though! There were just a few hiccups in his recipe. When making the filling MAKE SURE that sucker is boiling/bubbling! This will cook the eggs through and mix it well into the pudding. Then, chilling it in the fridge overnight will make it PERFECT. TRUST ME! I made this shit three times. If your filling is still runny and you don't want to put flour or more corn starch add 2 MORE EGG YOLKS to the cool mix, whisk it up, then put it back on the stove and whisk until it bubbles/boils. It should thicken up quick!
Thank you!!!!! I followed the instructions to a T also. I also cooked it longer than he said and mine is so runny it’s inedible. Trying again with your tips!
Greetings from Maine! I'm a pastry chef, but I can't get enough of your adorable videos. You're an excellent cook, and so much fun to watch. I find myself smiling and chuckling at your light-hearted approach. 😊
My late husband LOVED banana cream pie. Every year for his birthday, he wanted a banana cream pie from the B&W Bakery in Hackensack, NJ and every year I got him one. He died in 2013 and every year I post a photo of that pie on his Facebook page. This year, I may just make one. Or I may make them in individual pie tins and freeze them since I anticipate still being under quarantine. This looks fantastic!
This looks so delicious. Thanks for being your cheery self. It really brightened my day. My brother died last week and we are devastated. Cooking/baking always brings a ray of sunshine to a bad day.
I made this pie for my nephew's girlfriend's Birthday last Saturday. I had never made Banana Cream Pie before, which is her favorite pie, and was amazed at how easy it was to make. I was, also, amazed at how awesome it tastes! It was quite a hit and I've been asked to make it for Thanksgiving. Best Banana Cream Pie, I've ever had! Thanks, John!
Thank you.... for existing! you really make it sound easy enough to make, your explanations are pristine clear, and I think the selection of recipes is close to perfect. Standing ovation for you! I feel so lucky having found you. All my love... Sol
Just made this tonight for my dad's 61st birthday tomorrow! Can't wait to finish it up with whipped cream and more bananas. 🍌💛 This was my first time making custard/pudding on a stovetop like this..... O M G 😲 SO DELICIOUS! I ate whatever leftover I could from the pot.. and the bowl.. And the spatula.. 😂😂
I always wondered what went into a banana cream pie as they just weren't a thing in Australia when I was a kid but you solved the mystery for me and it's not as out of the ordinary for we Aussies as I would have thought. One of my favourites and also a regular dessert over here when I was a kid was banana custard with whipped cream on top and this is just that in a pie shell. I must admit it looks much more attractive in this format and just as tasty, I'm sure. Mystery now solved and I'll definitely be serving this up soon. Yum!
Hi John Kanell, thanks for sharing lovely information and skills. Started baking at 48 as an hobby. Tried my hands on Banana Pie on my 11 years old daughters request. The efforts paid off as I was considered a caring dad! Efforts are on as the expectations are rising, so God bless you with abundance of valuable information and happiness sharing. Thanks a ton.
Made this pie this last weekend and WOW is all I can say ! It was gone within 30 min and not everyone was honored to have a piece , note to self make TWO next time ! Thank you !
I just did this recipe for thanksgiving and it was amazing! I did end up modifying some things though. First of all, instead of 3 cups of milk, I did 1 cup of milk and 2 cups of half and half. Also, to give the filling a subtle natural banana flavor, I roasted a banana, sauteed it, and steeped it in my milk/half & half for about 30 minutes. I saw some people recommend mashing it and blending it in the filling, but that can change the consistency and add too much air. I also added another egg yolk because I found it wasn't as rich as I'd like. Lastly, the measurements in the video are different compared to the recipe measurements, but I'd recommend following the video measurements.
Done this recipe twice now and both times I've had to add almost a full cup of cornstarch before this will start to thicken up. The first time, used 1/4 cup cornstarch and I sat and stirred for half an hour and it never thickened. Finished it up, put it in the fridge and hoped for the best. Never set up. Put it back on the stove and added another 1/2-3/4 cup of cornstarch and it finally thickened up and was able to save the pie. Second time started with 1/2 cup cornstarch and it has the consistency of a thick soup. Note that for the custard I am following this recipe to the tee. No differences, no substitutions, no changes, nothing. Whole milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla.
You explained this very well so I decided to try this recipe out today with my granddaughter, and it was phenomenal. My great grands enjoyed it very much. I look forward to trying more of your recipes. Thank you
I mix banana that's been mashed till it's smooth and creamy, into my custard. That gives it an extra hit of banana flavor without using artificial extracts.
@@Sorekneecap if you're asking if the mashed bananas brown, not if you mix them in throughly enough. Bananas brown from exposure to oxygen. Mixing them throughly in the custard prevents oxygen from reaching and oxidizing the banana puree.
@@lilianmartin9898 I haven't had a problem with consistency issues from mashed banana, not as long as you get it smooth when you mash it. And remember to increase the flour a bit to adjust for the extra moisture from the mashed banana. I just made a banana custard pie for Thanksgiving this year, and it came out fine. My daughter and her boyfriend even asked for a couple of pieces to take home.
So I actually started out making your cream pie and then decided to add the bananas. SOOO GOOOD! The custard can be eaten alone, I love it. Thanks so much for such wonderful recipes. I have been baking for many years and have my favorites but your recipes are right up on the top of my list!
I wish there was a “love” button. I know exactly what you mean about giving the banana cream pie a hug. Custard is my weakness. You’re such a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your talent and personality!
you are one happy, lively, jolly teacher!!! i had tried some of your recipes and, even if they didn't turn out as good as it looks on your recipes, the taste are definitely amazing!!! bless you, sir, and more power! thank you for being so generous in sharing your talent to us!
Thank YOU! You are the ONLY baker, chef etc that has ever explained the thickening process of a custard and why it is necessary to whisk that much. Without knowing why or what to look for learning to make custard is going to take a lot of curdling and mistakes. Thank you. It is sad
I made mine and it would not thicken like his, but his said out loud 1/3 cup of corn starch but his recipe said 1/4, I used the 1/4 cup in mine, and in the end it was liquidy after I left it in the fridge over night, could that have messed it up, I was whisking for like 15 min very fast on med-high heat and it never thickened like his
My husbands family asked us to make pie for Thanksgiving. I found your video and gave it a try. My husband loves bannana cream pies. My first attempt didn't last over a day. The second one I took to Thanksgiving and received nothing but people commenting how great it was. Your recipe and video was easy to follow.
Banana cream pie was a favorite of mine since I was little. I haven't had it for years and I decided I would make banana cream pie for Thanksgiving rhis year. It was so good it brought me to tears! This is the best recipes ever! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Hey!! My family is obsessed with you, your TH-cam channel AND your cookbook. Okay..sometimes you ask folks to put in their requests. Well…I would LOVE it if you’d come up with a banana cream cheesecake. It was my New Year’s resolution to master baking a cheesecake and you made that a reality for me. I made your chocolate cheesecake for our Easter brunch and it was a hit. Thanks a ton!!
OMG! it looks so yummy can't wait to have it baked. And by the way those who worried about using vodka just want to say that all alcohol drink used in recipes the alcohol evaporates as it is cooked no worries ! I use wine to make my pasta dishes and they add a lot of flavor.
When my family makes it, they use boxed pudding mix, store bought pie crust, and store bought whipped topping. Not a fan of that, this homemade approach looks much better
I love your videos. Being a new baker, it is wonderful to have someone that explains each step and is easy to follow. Thank you! The pie came out beautifully for my husband for Valentine's Day!💕
@PreppyKitchen Brother...Your recipes and videos are great. I'm just a dude trying to make food with love for the ones I love. I just made this, and tried the filling. I followed your instructions, and it's going to be excellent, and I'm an incompetent cook! If I can do this, anyone can. Thanks for doing these.
I did it for a special client request and they love it and ordered again ... I followed every single step... ;) só recommend it. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe... love it. I wish I Could share pictures too...
Just made this last night and it was sooo delicious!!! I also followed your pie crust video (1st time ever making a crust of any kind) and I nailed it!!! Thank you!!! You are a great instructor!!!
Awesome, I learn to love banana cream pie when I moved to this country over 30 years ago lol but I’m prediabetic,so I have to make my dessert. Thank you for your videos.
‘’I just wanna give it a hug, then shove it in my mouth’’ 😂 I snorted out loud!! Love it, looks so yummy 🤤 and yes 3 tsp is 1 tbsp 😊 Thank you for sharing 💕
My elderly mom’s favorite pie is Banana Cream. I always make a pie or banana dessert for her birthday. I think I’ll make your version this time. It’s similar to my regular recipe. Yum. Her birthday is this Friday, April 7th. 💛🍌
Was there a mixup with the amount of sugar for the pie crust? In the video it’s 250g but the recipe on your website only uses 36g (like most recipes out there)
I made this recipe. I think I am on my 3rd incarnation. I found the 250 g of sugar to be O.T.T. (over the top), way too sweet. I've cut the sugar back to 150 g, will probably cut back another 25 to 125 g. Also I use 1 can of coconut milk add milk for the remainder. I also played around with the cornstarch. I found 45 g works best for my liking. But a gotta say 40 makes it very smooth , just a little to slack for me. Oh, I add some coconut shavings as well. Thanks for taking the time to post this my man. I enjoy your vids.
This is the traditional method for banana cream pie though. I thought the same thing when I learned how to make it. All the banana flavor comes from the banana slices. I was thinking of making some to fill cream puffs and I think I will dice the bananas and mix it with the cream so it's more homogenous though certainly will not be as as creamy or look as smooth. In a pie where you are cutting slices the thick layer of creamy custard is a wonderful textural and visual contrast to the crust and bananas.
To my knowledge, the only way to make this custard flavored like banana is to add in artificial banana flavoring, which most people think is gross. Or at least John does and I agree with him!
I tried this recipe and it was sooo delicious, thank you for sharing your recipe! If I had to add one thing it would be that if you are panning to keep your pie in the fridge for the next day, take the bananas out and add them the day you are going to eat them because they turn black. Thanks
The realities is Meg it's just the preppernet when it comes to cooking cooking is so easy it's the prep work that is hard that's why people have sous-chef if I had someone to do all my prep work for me oh my word but I've never had that but knowing me I don't think that they would do it to please me and they would get on my nerves sadly sadly that is true that is who I am and I do apologize for that sometimes I'm ashamed of myself
Trying to find someone that cooks & bakes that I can relate to & enjoy their videos is difficult because there are so many to choose from,but you are my favorite!i love your recipes but mostly you make baking & cooking so much fun & easy!Thank you❤
Both work, it's just based on preferance. I split the difference of the two when I made mine, but I'd recommend following the video measurements (maybe a bit less sugar though).
this is about the 7th time I've made this recipe, each time I try something new. This time it was clotted cream ( or Devon cream) substituted for the milk. Yesterday I reduced a litre ( quart) of whipping cream into clotted cream so I had this mass of Devon and not really sure how I was going to use it all. So today when I made the custard I used my usual 400ml (about 12 oz) can of coconut milk and then I topped up the 3 cups of liquid with Devon cream. It turned out very smooth. I find that this recipe will fill 2 store bought frozen crusts. I give them to friends.
Love your cooking techniques. I have seen many (and many) youtube videos of people cooking and some are good in their recipes and creations, others like you, are more elaborate and are able to use the "chemistry" side of cooking. So far Thomas Joseph was one of my favourites but you are equally as good (I discovered you fairly recently), and the more videos I watch, the more I realize that you know what you're doing. Thanks for all the time you spend to put these up...
Another version for the crust that makes sense to me is the Vanilla Wafer crust. Delish! Thank you very much for this version too. Definitely will give it a go!!
Pretty sure the screen is more accurate, he corrected his mistakes while editing. Sometimes you say wrong things without realizing it lol I can very much relate.
It was just a preference thing I believe. Like he mentioned, he put in 1/3 cup cornstarch but you can also do 1/4. I'd recommend doing what he did in the video. I made the filling based off the recipe and it didn't work out well and had to make it again using the measurements he said in the video.
Seriously! Not only are your recipes CRAZY YUMMY! But you're just such a a joy to watch. This Banana Cream Pie in particular is one of my faves. I LOOOVE it!! So, thanks loads for sharing it with us. And, never ever, change your Beautiful Fun Spirit!!! Arlene 😁❤
Howdy John. I used your basic technique for my pie today. I used coconut cream ( some what condensed coconut milk) instead of whole milk and I dialed the sugar back to 175g. Also I added toasted coconut ...so I guess that makes it a banana coconut cream pie!
Thank you for these banana cream pie recipes. I have tried it and we all love them and Yes this are the Best cream pies I’ve ever made in my live Thank you so much ❤
As I understand it the vodka works to wet the dough so you can work it and then when you bake the crust it evaporates quickly leaving the crust much more flakey. You can just use water.
I can offer you a diet friendly cream pie with a workout built in. It'll lean you out like a goddess, all the fun of a cream pie with non of the regret. 😉
My daughter made his recipe for cooking class and it’s absolutely amazing however my daughter can’t have milk so we used vanilla almond milk instead and it is 😗👌🤌 sooo great
I made this recipe n loved it!!!!! Only thing I noticed is the consistency was a bit runny n more pale looking on mine but overall the taste was amazing! Thank you so much.
Once I take it out after cooling. Separately, I blend 1 banana, some whip cream, and a bit of milk (to help blend). Blend it up, then slowly add the banana mix in with the custard to integrate the natural banana flavor into the pie. 🥧
A couple people asked about the vodka in the crust so I just want to clarify that it burns off during baking. Basically it helps bring the dough together without activating the gluten. :)
I can’t have vodka for religious purposes what can I use instead?
You're the best!
@@saimatasnim5716 I use apple cider vinegar and my pie crusts always turn out really nice
Saima Tasnim He already said it burns off during baking. So there won't be any left.
@@saimatasnim5716 you can leave it out, the crust will stll be tasty
I roast 2 bananas in their peel, then mash and add to vanilla custard for a natural banana flavor. So yummy. Love your videos!
Great tip! Thank you so much♡♡♡
That's the way my grandmother made hers. Love~
Thanks tip, will try.
Hello. I was just going to ask him if you could add banana puree to the custard. Does your pie still last or must you eat it all in one day? Thank you
How long do you have to roast in oven and in what temperature and do you just put bananas on a cookie sheet?
I love this recipe! I didn't have corn starch but the potato starch worked just as well. I used apple cider vinegar instead of the vodka. My grandmother used vinegar in her crust.
What vodka? I didn’t see in the recipe or hear in the video any mention of vodka.

Mine is runny as well, definitely need more corn starch less milk
Didn’t he say a third of a cup in his recipe? 🤔
Idk, I followed his instructions exactly as well and mine is certainly not runny! Maybe it's because of cooking time?
Samething happened to me. I just added more cornstarch.

Yeah, it's one of my pet peeves when cooks say use three teaspoons of something when they can just simply say a tablespoon.
16 T in a cup, so 1/4 cup is 4 T.
Except in Australia I believe a tbs is 4 tsp!🤷♀️ although to be honest I believe our cup measurements are different also- 250 ml =1 cup.

Beautiful! I would add more banana and toasted almond slices to finish off. Yum!
Honestly, I don't watch your videos because I'm baking, I watch them because they're therapeutic. 😍
Just made this last night and it was sooo delicious!!! I also followed your pie crust video (1st time ever making a crust of any kind) and I nailed it!!! Thank you!!! You are a great instructor!!!
I feel like it needs some grated chocolate on top! 😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤
I found your channel 3 months ago, and today is my fourth time to bake this delicious pie!!!! We are addicted and exercise frequently!!
“This stuff feels horrible when you touch it”
*touches it*
That’s what she said XD

Awesome, I learn to love banana cream pie when I moved to this country over 30 years ago lol but I’m prediabetic,so I have to make my dessert. Thank you for your videos.
‘’I just wanna give it a hug, then shove it in my mouth’’ 😂 I snorted out loud!! Love it, looks so yummy 🤤 and yes 3 tsp is 1 tbsp 😊 Thank you for sharing 💕
Ive made a vegan version of this pie 3 times now, using agar agar to thicken it up, it still works! its delicious!!!
My elderly mom’s favorite pie is Banana Cream. I always make a pie or banana dessert for her birthday. I think I’ll make your version this time. It’s similar to my regular recipe. Yum. Her birthday is this Friday, April 7th. 💛🍌
Cornstarch reaction no words..lol. And love that you use what you have in your pantry...sugars mixed ..
Yes, please, please, please make a coconut cream pie. It's my husband's favorite.
I bet hehehe (aight I’m out)
This recipe is great. I didn’t have any milk on hand so I used half and half. It was delicious and everyone loved it.
Was there a mixup with the amount of sugar for the pie crust? In the video it’s 250g but the recipe on your website only uses 36g (like most recipes out there)
It was my first time doing banana cream pie and tbh didn't expect a good pie but wow! This recipe is amazing!! Love it
You r such a perfectionist 😍 It’s an absolute delight to watch your videos❤️
I made this recipe. I think I am on my 3rd incarnation. I found the 250 g of sugar to be O.T.T. (over the top), way too sweet. I've cut the sugar back to 150 g, will probably cut back another 25 to 125 g. Also I use 1 can of coconut milk add milk for the remainder. I also played around with the cornstarch. I found 45 g works best for my liking. But a gotta say 40 makes it very smooth , just a little to slack for me.
Oh, I add some coconut shavings as well. Thanks for taking the time to post this my man. I enjoy your vids.
I always thought the custard would have banana flavor within it.
This is the traditional method for banana cream pie though. I thought the same thing when I learned how to make it. All the banana flavor comes from the banana slices. I was thinking of making some to fill cream puffs and I think I will dice the bananas and mix it with the cream so it's more homogenous though certainly will not be as as creamy or look as smooth. In a pie where you are cutting slices the thick layer of creamy custard is a wonderful textural and visual contrast to the crust and bananas.
To my knowledge, the only way to make this custard flavored like banana is to add in artificial banana flavoring, which most people think is gross. Or at least John does and I agree with him!
@@drea4195 Some of us are allergic to artificial banana flavor. It's why I love bananas but NEVER order anything banana when I'm eating out.
I tried this recipe and it was sooo delicious, thank you for sharing your recipe! If I had to add one thing it would be that if you are panning to keep your pie in the fridge for the next day, take the bananas out and add them the day you are going to eat them because they turn black. Thanks
I know I'll never make it, I just love seeing making it. if that's makes any sense.
The realities is Meg it's just the preppernet when it comes to cooking cooking is so easy it's the prep work that is hard that's why people have sous-chef if I had someone to do all my prep work for me oh my word but I've never had that but knowing me I don't think that they would do it to please me and they would get on my nerves sadly sadly that is true that is who I am and I do apologize for that sometimes I'm ashamed of myself
Trying to find someone that cooks & bakes that I can relate to & enjoy their videos is difficult because there are so many to choose from,but you are my favorite!i love your recipes but mostly you make baking & cooking so much fun & easy!Thank you❤
Question? As he’s giving the measurements for the pie the subtitle underneath has different measurements. Why? Which are the correct amounts?
Both work, it's just based on preferance. I split the difference of the two when I made mine, but I'd recommend following the video measurements (maybe a bit less sugar though).
this is about the 7th time I've made this recipe, each time I try something new. This time it was clotted cream ( or Devon cream) substituted for the milk. Yesterday I reduced a litre ( quart) of whipping cream into clotted cream so I had this mass of Devon and not really sure how I was going to use it all. So today when I made the custard I used my usual 400ml (about 12 oz) can of coconut milk and then I topped up the 3 cups of liquid with Devon cream. It turned out very smooth. I find that this recipe will fill 2 store bought frozen crusts. I give them to friends.
Well everybody I made the pie that banana cream pie came out beautifully just like you said it would thank you so much mr. Pie man
You are so welcome
Love your cooking techniques. I have seen many (and many) youtube videos of people cooking and some are good in their recipes and creations, others like you, are more elaborate and are able to use the "chemistry" side of cooking. So far Thomas Joseph was one of my favourites but you are equally as good (I discovered you fairly recently), and the more videos I watch, the more I realize that you know what you're doing. Thanks for all the time you spend to put these up...
My mouth is watering just watching this!
That’s the point of creampie
Watering 💧 from watching a cream pie hmm. I'll bring the cream, you bring the moist pie... we can like mmm cream pie 🥧
Finally! A banana cream pie recipe that is not just pouring instant pudding mix into a pie shell! Thank you!
I’ll be trying this soon! Love all your recipes!
Another version for the crust that makes sense to me is the Vanilla Wafer crust. Delish! Thank you very much for this version too. Definitely will give it a go!!
So when you're talking about adding the sugar, you SAY 1 & 1/2 cups, but the screen reads 1 & 1/4 cups.... which is the correct measurement?
I was wondering the same thing
Also corn starch is different too??
Pretty sure the screen is more accurate, he corrected his mistakes while editing. Sometimes you say wrong things without realizing it lol I can very much relate.
It was just a preference thing I believe. Like he mentioned, he put in 1/3 cup cornstarch but you can also do 1/4. I'd recommend doing what he did in the video. I made the filling based off the recipe and it didn't work out well and had to make it again using the measurements he said in the video.
I just made this for xmas dessert and put in 1 1/4 cups sugar which made it quite sweet but definitely delish. 1 1/2 would be way too much I think!
Seriously! Not only are your recipes CRAZY YUMMY! But you're just such a a joy to watch. This Banana Cream Pie in particular is one of my faves. I LOOOVE it!! So, thanks loads for sharing it with us. And, never ever, change your Beautiful Fun Spirit!!! Arlene 😁❤
Can not wait to make this! Mmmmm
Howdy John. I used your basic technique for my pie today. I used coconut cream ( some what condensed coconut milk) instead of whole milk and I dialed the sugar back to 175g. Also I added toasted coconut ...so I guess that makes it a banana coconut cream pie!
Custard skin gives me the willies like cornstarch does you! 😱
Thank you for these banana cream pie recipes. I have tried it and we all love them and Yes this are the Best cream pies I’ve ever made in my live
Thank you so much ❤
Qqq
ONG I laughed my lungs out when he reacted to the corn starch cause that happens to me as well. 😂😂😂
I made it and it is sooooooo good! Better than restaurant! Go make it!
I know what I'm making for Thanksgiving this year. :D with your caramel sauce recipe. Yum! 3tsp is 1tbsp
Imagine everyone in this world with John's personality, it would be so awesome and chill.
I could watch you for a lifetime.
I just made this and my whole family loved it! It was amazing
What can I use in place of vodka? Banana pudding is my absolute favorite dessert so I’m interested to try this recipe
Just use water
As I understand it the vodka works to wet the dough so you can work it and then when you bake the crust it evaporates quickly leaving the crust much more flakey. You can just use water.
Vinegar works too. Super tender pie crust.
Everything you make is sheer perfection, and your personality is even better!

My daughter made his recipe for cooking class and it’s absolutely amazing however my daughter can’t have milk so we used vanilla almond milk instead and it is 😗👌🤌 sooo great
I love your channel and I've made some of your amazing recipes. This looks incredible
PS
Citrus and chocolate don't mix lol
What about delicious chocolate orange flavours?
@@fedupwelsh7211 no no no no
Jaffas yum.
I made this recipe n loved it!!!!! Only thing I noticed is the consistency was a bit runny n more pale looking on mine but overall the taste was amazing! Thank you so much.
Once I take it out after cooling. Separately, I blend 1 banana, some whip cream, and a bit of milk (to help blend).
Blend it up, then slowly add the banana mix in with the custard to integrate the natural banana flavor into the pie. 🥧
Made this yesterday!! Super easy to make !! It tasted amazing!! The pie crust was sooooo good!
