Gradually whisk in the milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened and bubbly. Continue to cook for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat. Temper the Eggs: Slowly whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, return to heat, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Assemble the Pie: Arrange half of the sliced bananas in the baked pie crust. Pour half of the custard over the bananas. Repeat with the remaining bananas and custard. Chill and Serve: Cover the pie with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream before serving.
