Valerie Hill makes sure to use very ripe bananas for this version of an old Southern favorite served at Johnny's Half Shell on Capitol Hill (400 N. Capitol St. NW; 202-737-0400). The pastry cream needs several hours to set.
For the crust:
2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers (about 43 wafers)
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the pastry cream:
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cornstarch
6 egg yolks
