Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F for optimal pie baking consistency.

  2. 2

    Slice 2 bananas and evenly layer them on the bottom of the graham cracker pie crust.

  3. 3

    In a mixing bowl, blend eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Beat until the mixture is fully smooth with no streaks.

  4. 4

    Pour the blended mixture over the bananas in the crust, gently tapping the pan to remove air bubbles.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, rotating halfway through to ensure even setting; center should be just set with a slight jiggle.

  6. 6

    Cool the pie at room temperature for 1 hour, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to achieve the perfect creamy texture.

  7. 7

    Before serving, slice the remaining banana and decorate the top. Add whipped cream as desired.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Pay de Plátano recipe?
Ripe bananas are the star ingredient, defining the tropical flavor and creamy texture of this Pay de Plátano. Layers of fresh banana within a classic pie base and creamy custard really set this dessert apart.
Q. How should I control the baking time and temperature for the perfect pie?
Bake the pie at 350°F for 35–40 minutes, turning the pan halfway for even cooking. The center should appear just set with a slight jiggle—overbaking will cause the custard to become grainy instead of smooth.
Q. How can I prevent the pie from becoming soggy or runny?
Make sure to pre-chill the baked pie for at least 2 hours after it cools at room temperature. This helps the custard set firmly and prevents a soggy base. Avoid overloading with bananas on the crust to reduce excess moisture.
