(yes, yes it does have a PI made from bananas)crust:
9 graham crackers
1/4 c. melted butter (approximately)
filling:
3/4 c. sugar
8 tbsp. cocoa powder
6 tbsp. flour
2 1/4 c. milk
2 tbsp. melted butter
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 banana
9 graham crackers
1/4 c. melted butter (approximately)
filling:
3/4 c. sugar
8 tbsp. cocoa powder
6 tbsp. flour
2 1/4 c. milk
2 tbsp. melted butter
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 banana
For the crust, crush the graham crackers (food processor is best, blender/hands work as well...the finer the better but coarse is ok too, in my opinion) and combine with melted 1/4 cup of butter. Press into the bottom of a 6-8" pie dish.
Over a double boiler, combine all dry ingredients. Slowly add some of the milk, then gradually all the rest until smoothly blended. Keep stirring until mixture starts to boil and gets thick. Continue to cook about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, beat egg yolks in small bowl. Add melted butter and vanilla. Temper the eggs by pouring spoonfuls of the hot milk mixture and stirring. After combining the egg mixture with ~5 spoonfuls of milk mixture, pour all of the eggs into the milk mixture. Stir until smooth. Remove from top boiler and allow to cool.
While the pudding is cooling, slice the banana and arrange in concentric circles in the bottom of the pie dish. When the pudding has completely cooled, pour into baked pie shell. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. When ready to serve, garnish with more banana, whipped cream, etc. Use your imagination!
Overall, this recipe gives a little too much pudding for a 6-8" pie dish, so it works out perfectly--you have leftover pudding to eat while the pie is in the fridge!

Other pies included a pizza pie (recipe modified from here)
6 mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 c. cheese (I used an "italian blend" of cheeses)
1 1/2 c. milk
3 eggs
3/4 c. Bisquick mix
1/2 c. pizza sauce (recipe below)
1 bell pepper, chopped
Heat oven to 425F. Grease 10" pie plate. Sprinkle mushrooms and 1/3c. cheese in pie plate.
In medium bowl, beat milk, eggs, and Bisquick with electric mixer until smooth. Pour over vegetable mixture in pie plate.
Bake 20 mintues. Spread pizza sauce over top. Sprinkle bell pepper and remaining cheese over pie. Bake another 15-20 min until cheese is light brown. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
The base of this pie turned out very very very eggy (which would have been obvious if I had paid more attention to the recipe instead of just making it haha), so next time I would probably add more Bisquick and only 1 egg.
Pizza Sauce recipe:
vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 tsp garlic paste
5 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 Tbsp black pepper
1 Tbsp McCormick's Italian Seasoning (I think it has basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, etc)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add onions and sautee until translucent. Keep stirring or they'll stick! Add garlic paste, tomatoes, and remaining spices. Bring to a boil. Simmer until the sauce has become very thick. Remove from heat and pour sauce into blender; puree.
