Step 1

Beat butter until creamy. Add confectioners' sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating 3 minutes after each addition. Blend in vanilla.

Peel and slice 2 bananas crosswise. Sprinkle them with lemon juice. Fold chocolate and bananas into sugar mixture. Turn into cooled, baked (8-inch) pie shell. Sprinkle with walnuts and chill 2 or 3 hours. Just before serving, peel and slice a banana and arrange on top.
