By Nicole S

Ingredients

• FILLING:
• 1 1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 45 wafers)
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 T butter
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 cups 2% milk
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon dark rum
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 medium bananas
• Whipped cream, caramel sundae syrup and chopped salted peanuts

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the wafer crumbs and butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat.

Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter, rum and vanilla.

Slice bananas into the crust; pour filling over top. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Garnish as desired with whipped cream, caramel syrup and peanuts. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
