Notes
Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from releasing excess moisture into the pie filling.
To prevent a soggy crust, consider blind-baking the pie crust and adding a layer of chocolate ganache before filling it with the custard.
For a decorative touch, garnish the pie with whipped cream and additional banana slices just before serving.
