Directions

Crust
1. Mix flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse in the butter until the pieces are the size of large beans. Pulse in the shortening until mixture resembles coarse wet sand and there are no pieces larger than peas.
2. Add the vinegar to the water. Pulse in the water mixture until incorporated but before a dough ball forms.
3. Remove the dough from the processor and pat into a 4-inch disc on a sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
4. Roll out the pie dough out to a circle large enough to fill a 9-1/2 inch deep-dish pie pan. Line the pan with the rolled crust and crimp the edges as desired. Freeze for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425F.
5. Line the dough with parchment paper and pie weights. Bake for 18 minutes.
6. After 18 minutes of baking, remove the weights and parchment. Continue baking until the crust is golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Allow the crust to cool completely.

Chocolate Banana Layer

1. Bring the heavy cream and corn syrup to a simmer. Pour over the chopped chocolate. Whisk to combine.
2. Spread a thin layer of the chocolate mixture on the bottom of the prepared crust.
3. Slice the bananas into thin slices and layer on top of the chocolate. Spread the remaining chocolate over the banana slices. Refrigerate while preparing the Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Layer.
