Now, I started out making banana custard pie but the custard mix I'd found ended up tasting like plastic. This tastes far, far better. Enjoy my fixit recipe.
Ingredients
Pastry
- 1 cup Orgran all purpose flour
- ½ cup Orgran self-raising flour
- ½ cup cornflour
- ⅓ cup Orgran gluten free gluten
- ¼ cup caster sugar (optional)
- 125g Nuttlex
- 1 tsp Orgran No Egg whisked with 40mls water until thick
- ¼ cup cold water
Filling and Topping
- 3-4 bananas, peeled and sliced
- 4 tsp Orgran No Egg whisked with 60mls water until thick
- ½ cup caster sugar
- 2 large tbsps Nuttlex
- 150g plain goat’s cheese, beaten
- ½ tsp vanilla essence
- 3 tsp gelatine
- 200g Lindt 70% dark chocolate, melted
- Cocoa for dusting
- Strawberries and/or pecans for decoration
Method
- Grease a pie dish.
- Combine the flours, gluten free gluten, Nuttlex and ¼ cup sugar in a large bowl and rub the Nuttlex through until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the No egg mixture and ¼ cup cold water.
- Combine until the pastry just comes together.
- Roll and press the pastry together until smooth.
- Wrap in plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
- Place remaining pastry between 2 sheets of cling wrap or baking paper.
- Roll out until large enough to cover the pie base.
- Peel away the cling wrap from one side of the pastry.
- Flip the pastry into the pie dish and shape, cutting away any excess.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes at 180C and then allow the base to cool completely.
- Combine the No Egg, Nuttlex, goat’s cheese, vanilla essence and caster sugar in a bowl and beat until creamy.
- Fold in the gelatine into the hot melted chocolate and allow the chocolate to cool.
- Fold the chocolate into the creamy mixture until evenly combined.
- Pour the filling over the banana and smooth the top. Work quickly as the filling will start to set quickly.
- Dust with cocoa.
- Decorate with strawberries or pecans.
- Refrigerate until chilled.
- Pectin can be used instead of gelatine for setting the mixture although I'm not sure of the conversion rate. If using a jam setter, which is pectin mixed with sugar, then replace the sugar and gelatine with jam setter to equal quantities.
