Ingredients

Scale

Banana Creme Diplomat

  • 1 cup (250 mL) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp (31 g) cornstarch
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 banana (53 g), pureed
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup (250 g) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Toppings and Garnish

  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter, melted
  • Edible flowers
  • Additional banana slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Banana Creme Diplomat: In a saucepan, combine whole milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, salt, and pureed banana. Whisk thoroughly and place over medium-high heat. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens, then cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to cook out the cornstarch taste. Remove from heat and stir in unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve onto a plastic wrap-lined baking tray. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate for 20 minutes or until cooled.
  2. Make Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream and powdered sugar. Whisk at high speed until stiff peaks form, indicating the whipped cream is firm and stable.
  3. Combine Creme Diplomat and Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whisk the cooled banana pastry cream until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pastry cream until fully combined, creating a light, airy cream mixture known as banana creme diplomat.
  4. Prepare Graham Cracker Crust: In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
  5. Assemble Pie (Large Pie method): Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into a pie plate, covering the bottom and sides to form a crust. Bake for 7-9 minutes until set, then cool completely. Arrange sliced bananas over the cooled crust. Pour the banana creme diplomat over banana slices, smoothing the top. Melt Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave and pour evenly over the top layer, spreading thinly. Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour to set. Decorate with additional graham cracker crumbs, edible flowers, and if desired, bruleed banana slices before serving.
  6. Assemble Individual Cups (Ramekins): Place about 3 tablespoons of graham cracker crumb mixture into the bottom of each 4 oz ramekin. Press down evenly with a spoon or muddler. Layer sliced banana on top of the crust. Fill each cup with banana creme diplomat, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top. Smooth the surface with a spoon. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of melted Biscoff cookie butter over the top, rotating the ramekins to evenly coat the surface. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Garnish similarly with extra crumbs, edible flowers, or bruleed banana slices as desired.

Notes

  • Make sure to whisk the custard mixture continuously to prevent lumps and burning.
  • Chilling the custard before folding in whipped cream ensures a smooth, consistent texture.
  • The graham cracker crust can be baked in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • For a more pronounced banana flavor, use ripe bananas for pureeing and topping.
  • Bruleed banana slices add a nice caramelized flavor and attractive garnish.
  • This dessert is best served chilled for optimal texture and flavor.
