Banana Cream Custard Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. milk
4 egg yolks, well beaten
2/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. cornstarch
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. finely chopped nuts (any type)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. butter
2 large bananas, sliced
1 baked 9-inch pie crust
1 c. toasted shredded coconut

Preparation

Combine the milk, egg yolks, sugar, salt and cornstarch and cook over low heat. Bring to a boil. Add the cream cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Remove the mixture from the heat and add nuts, vanilla and butter. Stir until well mixed. Cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the cooling pot to help avoid a crust from forming on the custard. Place the sliced bananas on the bottom of the pie crust and top with the cooled custard. Sprinkle with coconut and refrigerate.
