1 c Sugar
1/2 c Fresh lime juice
1/2 c Tequila
2 ts Grated lime peel
1/2 c (1 stick) unsalted butter,

1 sm Very ripe banana, peeled
1 c Chilled whipping cream

FOR CRUST: Combine flour and salt in processor. Add shortening and

Preheat oven to 350’F. Roll out dough on floured surface to 16-inch
round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Cut off excess
dough, leaving 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang under to form
double-thick edge. Crimp edge decoratively. Pierce crust all over
with fork. Bake until crust is golden, piercing bottom if crust
bubbles, about 35 min- utes. Transfer to rack and cool.

FOR FILLING: Whisk first 5 ingredients in top of double boiler to
blend. Set over simmering water and whisk until custard thickens and
registers 170’F on candy thermometer, about 4 minutes. Remove from
over water. Add butter and whisk until melted. Cool slightly. Pour
filling into crust. Refrigerate until filling sets, at least 3 hours
or overnight.

FOR TOPPING: Puree ripe banana in processor. Using electric mixer,
beat cream and sugar in medium bowl to stiff peaks. Fold banana into
cream.
