Hummingbird Pie with Pecan Crust

Makes 1 (9-inch) pie

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (240 grams) coconut milk
  • 1 cup (240, grams) pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) light rum
  • 4 large egg yolks (74 grams), room temperature
  • 1 large egg (50 grams), room temperature
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • tablespoons (36 grams) cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon (1.5 grams) kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3 medium bananas (282 grams), sliced ¼ inch thick
  • Pecan Piecrust (recipe follows)
  • Whipped Cream (recipe follows)

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, heat coconut milk, pineapple juice, and rum over medium heat, stirring frequently, just until bubbles form around edges of pan (do not boil). Remove from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, egg, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add hot milk mixture to egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and mixture no longer tastes starchy, about 3 minutes. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, discarding any solids. Stir in butter until melted and combined. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap, pressing wrap directly onto surface of cream to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 3 hours, or up to overnight. Stir until smooth before using.
  • Place banana slices in two even layers in bottom of prepared Pecan Piecrust. Spread pineapple-coconut cream over banana slices, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Top with Whipped Cream before serving.
