Sul Sul, gerbits. I just felt like being Yamachan today because why not. Today I am going to share with you one of my favorite Harvest Fest pies.
It is called Guy Pie. It is a combination of chocolate, coconut, and banana cream pies. It is a very rich pie that tastes amazing after you have stuffed yourselves with turkey.
My parents were watching ABC’s Good Morning America in 2004 right before Harvestfest. The cook Emeril Lagasse was doing a “ Pie of Emeril’s Eye” recipe contest. And this pie was the one that won that year.
My mom thought that she would make it that year, just to see if it was a good pie or not. And it was a hit. Year after year we would make it. And after a few years of making it with my mom, she asked me if I wanted to make it myself.
This was both exciting and terrifying, but I ended up making it. And it tasted good. After that year, that was my contribution to Harvestfest.
There are a few things that we have changed to make this recipe our own. The first thing that we changed was the crust. The recipe calls for a regular pie crust, but we determined that we like making a graham cracker crust for the Guy Pie.
The recipe will be in the description down below.
Once you get the graham cracker crust together you are going to slice up your bananas and place them along the bottom of the pie crust. Then place it in the refrigerator until the pudding is done.
Now you are going to stir together your sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a salt pan. Make sure you don’t turn your heat on now unless you want Carmel. Don’t do it.
Blend in your milk and egg yolks and gradually stir it into the sugar mixture.
You are going to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Do not worry, it will take a very VERY long time to boil and thicken. Just remember to keep stirring.
Once it is thickened and boiling you are going to continue stirring it for 1 minute. And then remove it from the heat.
Add your butter, chocolate, coconut, and vanilla. Immediately pour the custard into the pie crust that has the bananas.
Cool the pie for at least 2 hours.
Once it is chilled you can serve it with whipped cream and sprinkle it with a grated chocolate bar on top.
Oh my gosh. Is this pie supper sweet? But at the same time so good. We only bake this pie one time of the year. Because if we had it more than one time, we would have health issues. It’s fine if it is just one day though.
