Low Cal Banana Cream Pie Recipes

FLUFFY KETO BANANA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Make the Low Carb Walnut Pie Crust as per instructions or use your favorite recipe for low carb pie crust. Cool completely. Can be made several days ahead.
• Ready a strainer by the stove. Sprinkle the gelatin over 1 tbsp of water to bloom.
• Place the cream and almond milk in a medium sauce pan, and turn the heat to medium until the milk steams and forms bubbles around the sides of the pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetener, arrowroot, xanthan gum and salt. Add the egg yolks and whole eggs and whisk to combine.
• In a thin stream, pour the hot milk into the eggs mixture while whisking continuously. Then, pour the custard back into the sauce pan, turning the heat to medium-low. Place the sieve over the bowl.
• Continuously whisk the custard. Nothing will happen for about 2½ minutes and then it will start to thicken-up slightly. Whisk a little faster. At about the 3 - 3½ minute mark, it will begin to thicken. Whisk briskly and cook for 1 minute more BUT don't let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble. NOTE: You may need to remove the pot from the heat if it gets too hot.
• Turn off the heat and remove the pot from the stove, still whisking briskly for another minute. Whisk in the gelatin, vanilla, banana extract, and butter. Then, pour the pastry cream through the strainer, catching any cooked egg bits.
• To cool, push a piece of plastic wrap right on top of the surface of the pastry cream and place in the refrigerator OR make a water bath by putting ice and water in a large bowl, setting the smaller bowl with the pastry cream into the water bath, and stirring until completely cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Put sweetener and heavy cream in a small bowl and beat with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the top and beat until the cream is very stiff.
• Remove the banana cream filling from the refrigerator and gently beat with a hand mixer for a few seconds. Add 1/3 of the whipped cream to the filling and fold it in with a rubber spatula. Add another 1/3 of the whipped cream, again folding it into the filling. Repeat.
• Put the filling into the crust and smooth to the edges. Refrigerate uncovered at least 4 hours before serving.
• Serves 8, at 5.5 net carbs per serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a 10-inch pie plate with cooking spray. In a food processor, process graham crackers until finely ground. Add butter and 2 tablespoon of water, and process until the crumb clumps together. Do not over process. Press the crumb mixture into bottom of pie plate and about 1/2-inch up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
• In the meantime, make the filling. Put the gelatin in a small bowl; add 3 tablespoons of boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/3 cup of sugar and the flour. In a medium bowl lightly beat the milk and egg yolks together. Add the egg yolk and milk mixture to the saucepan and whisk so the flour and sugar dissolve. Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes, until mixture comes to a boil and has thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract and the gelatin. Cut up the extra banana and using a hand blender blend it into the pudding mixture. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Arrange the sliced bananas in layers on the graham cracker crust and pour the pudding on top. Carefully cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator until the pudding has set, about 3 hours.
• Whip the cream with an electric beater. When it is about halfway done, add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, then continue whipping until fully whipped. Put the whipped cream in a plastic bag, concentrating it in 1 corner of the bag. Snip that corner off the bag and squeeze the whipped cream out of the bag in a decorative pattern around the pie.
