Ingredients:
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch

2 cups whole milk
3 egg yolks, beaten
2 tbsp butter
1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked

Method:
1. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Add milk in gradually while stirring gently. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbly. Keep stirring and cook for about 2 more minutes, and then remove.

Remove the mixture from the stove, and add butter and vanilla. Stir until the whole thing has a smooth consistency. 
3. Pour melted chocolate over the cooled pie crust. Slice bananas on top of the melted chocolate layer. Top with pudding mixture.
