| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare Crust: Crush 30 chocolate wafers into fine crumbs. In a bowl, combine the crumbs with melted butter or margarine, tossing well to mix. Spread the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing onto the bottom and sides to form a firm and even crust. Cover and chill. |
| 2 | Make Filling: In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat. |
| 3 | Temper Eggs: Gradually stir 1 cup of the hot filling into the lightly beaten egg yolks. Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining filling. Bring to just boiling, then reduce heat and cook and stir for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat. |
| 4 | Add White Chocolate: Stir in the chopped white chocolate and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. |
| 5 | Assemble Pie: Slice 2 bananas onto the chilled crust, then spread half of the filling over the bananas. Layer the remaining chocolate wafers on top of the filling, followed by chopping and placing the remaining 2 bananas. Cover with the remaining filling. Cover the pie and chill for at least 4 hours. |
| 6 | Prepare Topping: Before serving, whip the whipping cream with powdered sugar and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie. |
| 7 | Garnish (Optional): If desired, top the pie with white and milk chocolate curls for an elegant finishing touch. |
| 8 | Serve: Slice and serve this irresistible White Chocolate-Banana Cream Pie to delight your taste buds and impress your guests! |
