Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch cake pan and line the bottom with a circle of waxed paper.
  2. 2 Combine graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, melted butter, and ¾ teaspoon banana extract in a bowl until mixture holds together; press into the bottom of the prepared cake pan, using a second 8-inch cake pan to press crust firmly into pan.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, about 8 minutes; set aside to cool.
  4. 4 Pour about 1 inch water into the bottom of a double boiler; bring to a boil. Place peanut butter chips and half-and-half in the top of the double boiler; set over bottom of the boiler (boiling water shouldn't touch top boiler). Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth; set aside to cool.
  5. 5 Place cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until smooth. Increase speed to medium; beat in ½ cup sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated. Beat in bananas, lemon juice, remaining ½ teaspoon banana extract, and vanilla extract, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides of the bowl. Beat in peanut butter chip mixture until smooth and even; pour into crust.
  6. 6 Place cheesecake in a large baking pan; add enough hot water to come most of the way up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, about 1 hour. Turn oven off, open door, and let cheesecake cool slowly in the oven for 1 hour.
  8. 8 Run a knife around edges of cheesecake; flip the pan onto a wire rack. Place a dish towel on the bottom of the pan; rub dish towel with a hot water-filled tea kettle to gently heat the bottom of the cheesecake. Slowly remove pan. Place a serving platter on top; flip cake onto platter, using the wire rack. Refrigerate cheesecake for 8 hours.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Cream butter or margarine with mixer. Blend in whole eggs, sugar, and extract. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. When the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add oats and pecans. Mix on lower speed until consistent.
  3. 3 Drop pieces of the dough using an ice cream scoop onto an ungreased cookie tray roughly 3 to 4 inches apart.
  4. 4 Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Eight minutes would yield crispy cookies with a chewy, slightly doughy center. For harder, crispier cookies, bake longer. Cool on wire rack.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2 Whisk cookie crumbs, sugar, and salt for crust together in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until mixture is coated and moist. Press the crumb mixture evenly along the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch, deep-dish pie plate.
  3. 3 Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden brown and firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. 4 Melt 1/2 cup of the peanut butter and butter for the peanut butter layer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking to combine. Once melted, set aside to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Pour mixture into bottom of the cooled crust, carefully smoothing into an even layer with a silicone spatula. Arrange the banana slices in an even layer over the peanut butter.
  5. 5 Combine the remaining ½ cup peanut butter and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Cut the peanut butter into the sugar using a fork until a crumbly, streusel-like mixture forms; you will get about 2 scant cups of this mixture. Sprinkle about half of this mixture over the sliced bananas. Gently press with clean fingertips into a relatively even layer. Place pie in refrigerator while you make the pudding.
  6. 6 Beat egg yolks for banana pudding layer with a whisk in a medium bowl until well combined; set aside. Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan to evenly combine. Whisk in half-and-half, making sure all ingredients are well distributed. Place the pan over medium heat; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened slightly and gently begins to simmer, about 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove pan from heat and, while whisking rapidly, slowly drizzle about ½ to 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the eggs to temper. Keep whisking until smooth and combined. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens further, 3 to 6 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in the butter, vanilla, and banana extract.
  8. 8 Pour the pudding mixture into a large mixing bowl and press a sheet of plastic wrap onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a “skin” from forming. Cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
  9. 9 Once pudding has cooled, pour about half of the pudding into the pie shell. Sprinkle the crumbled wafers in an even layer over top. Arrange the banana slices over the wafers. Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumble mixture over the bananas. Pour remaining pudding over top. (Some of the peanut butter crumble and banana slices may float towards the surface; that's just fine. Smooth the surface as well as you can with a silicone spatula.) Place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto surface of the pudding filling to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
  10. 10 When ready to serve, combine heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla for topping in a chilled mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment until medium-soft peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream on top of the pie.
