1/2 c Sugar

Pie:
Whisk cornstarch, sugar and salt. Slowly beat in
cream, then milk in a thin steady stream. Whisk in
the egg yolks, one at a time.
Transfer to a saucepan and cook over moderate heat
whisking constantly and gently, until mixture
comes to a full rolling boil. Reduce heat and
simmer, stirring occasionally, two minutes.
Immediately pour into a bowl. Beat in the butter,
a tablespoon at a time, stirring to melt before
adding the next. Cover surface directly with
plastic wrap and let cool until lukewarm, about an
hour.
Slice the bananas on the diagonal into 1 inch
pieces. Layer evenly in pie shell. Stir liqueur
into custard and pour over bananas, covering
completely. Refrigerate pie for 20 minutes.
Topping:
In a cold bowl, with cold beaters, beat the cream
until it forms soft peaks. Slowly beat in sugar,
then liqueur and beat until stiff peaks form.
Spread over filling. Chill pie at least an hour
before serving.
