Banana pie with white brigadeiro is a luscious and decadent dessert that combines the creamy richness of white brigadeiro with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas. This dessert is a delightful twist on the classic banana cream pie, offering a unique and indulgent flavor experience.
To make banana pie with white brigadeiro, you’ll start by preparing a simple vanilla wafer cookie crust. Crush vanilla wafer cookies into fine crumbs and mix them with melted butter. Press the mixture into a pie dish to form the crust, and bake it until it’s lightly golden and fragrant. Let the crust cool completely before proceeding.
Next, you’ll layer sliced ripe bananas over the cooled crust. The bananas should be ripe but firm, as they will provide a natural sweetness and creamy texture to the pie.
The star of this dessert is the white brigadeiro filling. Brigadeiro is a traditional Brazilian sweet made with condensed milk and cocoa powder, but this recipe uses white chocolate instead for a creamy and luxurious twist.
To make the white brigadeiro, combine sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and chopped white chocolate in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour the white brigadeiro over the sliced bananas in the pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Chill the banana pie with white brigadeiro in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or until the filling is set. Before serving, you can garnish the pie with additional sliced bananas or a sprinkle of grated white chocolate for an extra touch of elegance.
This banana pie with white brigadeiro is a luxurious and indulgent dessert that is sure to impress. The combination of creamy white chocolate brigadeiro and fresh, ripe bananas creates a flavor experience that is both sophisticated and comforting. Serve this pie at your next special occasion or dinner party for a truly memorable dessert!
