Chocolate Banana Custard Pie

In a heavy medium-sized saucepan, heat 2 cups of milk and sugar over low heat until the sugar dissolves.

Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining ¼ cup milk in a small bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks.

Whisk the egg mixture into the heated milk. Cook, whisking constantly, for about 4 minutes or until it thickens. The custard should form loose mounds when dropped from a spoon back into the pan.

Add the vanilla then stir and cool.

Cut the bananas into ¼ -inch slices. Mix into the custard.

Pour the custard mixture into pie shell.

Make the chocolate ganache: Heat all-purpose cream in a saucepan to almost boiling point. Remove from heat and add semi-sweet chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted. Spread the chocolate ganache over the banana custard.

Chill the pie for at least 2 hours before serving.
