Eye for Pie

My friend was telling me about Good Morning America's 'Pie of Emeril's Eye' Contest. I don't really like Emeril, but some of these pies sound yummy. The winner:

Guy Pie by Winner Pam Mellor

• 9-inch baked pie shell (your own recipe or store bought)
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 3 cups of whole milk
• 4 egg yolks, slightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 2 teaspoons of almond flavoring
• 2-ounces melted unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup of flaked coconut
• 1 large banana

Slice the banana and place along bottom of your pie crust.

Stir together sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Blend in milk and egg yolks and gradually stir into sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Continue stirring for 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Blend in butter, chocolate, coconut and almond flavoring. Immediately pour into baked pie crust that has sliced bananas on the bottom. Cool pie for at least 2 hours.

After it's chilled, cover top of pie with whipped cream and sprinkle grated sweet chocolate on top.

For the other finalists check out, Pie of Emeril's Eye Contest

yay! I tried it! It came out goooo-ooood! And I made it more low-fat too, by using skim milk and only a cup of sugar instead of 1 1/4. I used a graham cracker pie crust...man, sooo good! :) A little too chocolate-y for my taste but the whipped cream balances it out.. yum!
