Banana Pudding Pie

• Malted milk pudding
• 2 1/3 cups whole milk
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon malted milk powder
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Pie!
• 1 1/2 cups Nilla wafer crumbs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• big pinches salt
• 1 to 2 bananas, thickly sliced
• 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks

1. Make the pudding: Gently heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat. Meanwhile, whisk together the yolks, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and malted milk powder until smooth. Add the milk to the sugary yolks, splash by splash (this avoids scrambling the eggs). Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until very thick. Add the butter and vanilla extract. Press through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Seal the top with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold.
2. Make the crust: Combine the crumbs, butter, sugar, and salt in a big bowl. The mixture should just hold together when squeezed. If it seems too dry, add a bit more butter. Press into a 9-inch pie tin. Freeze for at least 1 hour and up to 1 month.
3. Bake the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 10 minutes, until deeply browned and crispy. Let cool completely.
4. Assemble the pie: Spread a thin layer of pudding on the bottom of the pie shell. Add a layer of bananas. Top with the malted milk pudding and fill to the brim of the crust. Top with the whipped cream and a few more banana slices in the very center. Chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours before serving.
