Amy of Sing for Your Supper picked Banana Cream Pie for this weeks TWD-recipe. I was excited, because this was a pie that I had actually made before and although it was a different recipe now I would have something to compare it to!Last October I made my first Banana Cream Pie, that time it was for CEiMB and Heather from Randomosity and the Girl picked it.
For the pie I took the easy way out and bougth some puff pastry shells. The custard came together very easily: it did start to curdle just a bit, but that was soon solved by with some quick whisking action. After cooling down the custard was a bit too thick, so I thinned it by whisking in some cream as suggested in the P&Q.
This pie tasted okay, but I thought this custard tasted a bit too sugary/cinnamonny/eggy..... I'm not quite sure what it was that made me hesitant..... My dad loved it though!!. I actually preferred the one that I made last October, if you want to give that one a try, go here for the recipe!
Curious what my fellow TWD-ers thought of the Banana Cream Pie?? Check out the blogroll here!
Ow and one last thing: enter my giveaway (I know: another giveaway!!!), deadline is April 10th midnight Dutch time!!!
Yum! That looks amazingly good :) What a pity the custard was too eggy but it looks great. I have some bananas, some caramel and some cream in my fridge that's just dying to be made into something similar! :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow what beautiful little tarts! I loved this pie, though it definitely isn't a traditional sweet banana cream. Glad you dad liked it!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh! How cute! I love these!!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGlad that Dad enjoyed it! I may have to check out the other version.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think your little pies look so cute Marthe! I was not sure I liked the custard either. I thought it tasted like graham crackers, but it kind of grew on me and by the time I finished I quite liked it!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour tarts look really cute!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenCould those little tarts be any cuter? Sorry you were disappointed in the flavor but at least you have a recipe you do like.

I'm sorry you weren't a fan! Your little tartlets are super cute and I love how you decorated them!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEven if you weren't in love with the flavor, you had to be proud of their appearance! These look great.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThese mini pies are too cute. I have been wanting to try Ellie's recipe. Hopefully I will like hers better since it is healthier than this calorie fest!

Gorgeous little tarts.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThose tarts look fabulous! I didn't make them this week. I've been a bit overwhelmed lately. But I did the CEiMB last night and it was delicious. So was this banana cream not sweet enough?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love your little tartlets, so adorable! Sorry you weren't that keen on this recipe but glad your Dad like it :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh MY...your mini pies are so cute. I love the piped stars!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour tarts are so cute!! This crust gave me problems so I wish I'd bought some shells too :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenCute little tarts! Using puff pastry dough is a great idea--a delicious, tasty shortcut.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful presentation!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh, those are yummy looking. And beautiful, too. I love the little tarts.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenCiao Marthe !! I love the mini they are very cute !!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey look so cute! I am wishing I did minis now.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThose minis are cute! I'll have to try Ellie's recipe, too.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt looks great. I actually liked Dorie's much better than Ellie's! I wonder why. The fat content is probably way higher!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour banana cream pies are sooooo adorable! They're so dainty and pretty!! I'm glad they turned out so good.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery very nice looking tarts. They are so dainty and special looking.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow those tarts are beautiful!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh, it is great to know that you preferred Ellie's healthier version! I loved Dorie's, but it is so spectacularly loaded with fat/calories that I couldn't justify making it too often. I will have to try Ellie's! Your little tarts look beautiful!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is my first banana cream pie, but I think I would like a more traditional recipe, too.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour pies are awfully cute Marthe, just like little flowers. Sorry the spicy custard wasn't your thing.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour little pies are so cute!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour little tarts are so pretty! Too bad you didn't love them. I had some issues making my pie, but thought it tasted good. Glad your dad liked it. My parents liked it too.
