So Ritesh's birthday was a couple of weeks ago, and I had promised I would try my hand at a banana cream pie, his favorite, so here is my first ever effort:
There are so many egg yolks in the custard that I made a meringue top out of the leftover egg whites. So no whipped cream here, but it was pretty tasty.
A few days later, I made a second one, this one vegan and soy based:
The custard is made from tofu and the bananas are actually mixed in, rather then layered under the custard. And the topping is a whipped soy product I found at Whole Foods that actually comes imported from Germany and tastes pretty darn good as well.
I haven't been able to extract from Ritesh which one of the two pies he liked better, so may have to make both again next year :)
