This week's Tuesday with Dorie is hosted by Amy of Sing for Your Supper, and she has chosen an all-American Banana Cream Pie for us to make this week.
I have never made Banana Cream Pie before, and I somehow imagined it to be a whole lot of whipped cream and bananas with nothing else. Wrong! This banana cream pie consists of a tart shell filled with a wonderful spiced pastry cream based on brown sugar, bananas and cream on top:
I used Dorie's pate sable for my tart shell because it is my favourite, and I didn't have much fun with her Good for Everything pie dough the last time I made it.
What can I say? This was heavenly. I honestly didn't expect to think much of it, but it was truly devine, and a new treat for me. My friend Veronica and my colleagues also enjoyed it.

Your pie looks wonderful, glad you liked it!
Gosh ,you do this every week!
I love anything banananey! :D
I was really surprised and impressed with this too. Yours looks great!
SO glad you liked it! We loved it here :)
I think you made the right choice using the tart dough - if I made this again I would use that rather than the pie crust whcih I found a bit heavy for this kind of pie
That pastry cream was delicious, wasn't it? Great job! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I went with a different crust as well. Glad you enjoyed it!
Yummy - it looks great!! Thanks so much for baking with me this week!

Wow, your pie looks so good. I have to sit this one out because I have family visiting and they all want me to bake their favorites. I will do a catch-up though because I have never made one either.
seems delicious and nice for kids!
Ok, this looks like a major pie! I love it! And I agree - i thought it was mostly whipped cream and bananas.... boy, was I wrong. Glad you enjoyed it - and (like myself) tried something new!
I made a graham cracker crust for mine, but I bet that pate sable crust was fabulous.
This was seriously amazing! Your tart looks gorgeous!
Ciao ! I liked too ! I wasn't expecting much like you but then...surprise !
Thanks Marthe - it was a surprise hit.
Hi A&N, a big slice to you!
Thanks Susan - I love being surprised by recipes.
Good to hear Amanda.
Hi Tammy, I love the pate sable - I never want to make another pie crust now.
Hi Pamela, it was amazing - yay for Dorie!
Thanks Jules.
Hi Amy, thanks for hosting and for choosing such a great recipe.
Hi Lorelei, when you get a chance to make this, you'll love it, I promise.
Agree Mary.
Hi Mike, I like Dorie's surprises - they are often very good.
Hi Tanya, it has become my "go to" crust.
Thanks Teanna :)
Hi Natalia, It was great and such a surprise!
Note to all - I will be very quiet on blogger for a little while as I am moving and have lost my Internet connection, but will come visit as soon as I can. Cheers, Cakelaw
I'm glad you liked it! I thought it was wonderful.
Don't you love it when a recipe surprises you--in a good way?! I'm so glad you ended up really enjoying this pie. I bet it was fabulous with the pate sucre. Delicious!
How did you know I liked banana cream pie so much?! Looks fantastic!
Oh stunning Cakelaw!! I've never made this pie before either... I must get my book out of Dories now ;0)
The pie crust didn't turn out very good for me - it tasted fine, but was not pretty.
As always, this looks great!
Hi Pinkstripes, I am with you - it was wonderful!
Hi Elyse, I think this is one of the best things about baking groups - I am surprised by things that I would never otherwise have chosen to make.
LOL - thanks Em :)
Hi Roise, I think that you would love Dorie's book.
Hi Shortbread, I love Dorie's pate sable because there is no rolling - just processing and pressing into the greased pie pan.
Thanks Duckie!
You're so dedicated to the TWD group! I can barely make time to do the Daring Bakers. But when things look as good as this, that's pretty good motivation :)
This sounds heavenly. I must try this one soon.
Hi Lorraine, I am glad I started TWD, even if I sometimes find it hard to fit it in - I have learnt so many new techniques and tried so many things that otherwise would have remained a mystery to me.
Hi Ivy, after Lent is over, celebrate by making this - it is an awesome indulgence.
