Ingredients:
The Crust
1 store-bought or homemade graham cracker pie crust, chocolate
NOTE: can use any chocolate crust, doesn't have to be graham cracker but has
to be prepared
The Other Goodies
2 Tbps of white sugar
2 Tbsp of regular white flour
1/8 tsp of salt
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
1/4 cup of milk, whole or half-and-half works best
1-1/2 tsp of banana extract, real is better than imitation
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, genuine is always better
1 fairly ripe banana, sliced thin

Combine
the sugar, flour and salt in a medium saucepan and blend it together well using a fork. Next, mix the egg and
the 1/4 cup of milk together in a small bowl, then add them to the ingredients in the saucepan and mix
everything well.
Put the
pan over medium heat and slowly bring everything to a boil while stirring continuously. If the mixture thickens
before it boils, you don't have to continue bringing it to a boil.
Take
the saucepan off the stove. Mix in the banana extract and the vanilla extract and stir well. Pour everything
into a large bowl and stir it once in awhile while it cools to lukewarm temperature.
Pour
half of the mixture into the chocolate crust and spread it evenly over the bottom. Spread the banana slices out
over the top of the filling, and then pour the remaining filling into the pie crust. Cover the pie and chill
until cold, usually about two hours or more.
If you like, you can garnish the top with vanilla wafers, chocolate swirls, or even chunks of
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
