Yes, It's old-fashioned. I was taugh this recipe in 1940 at the age of 12. My Fathers bakery had the best pies in the county. Milk , eggs, and BUTTER, make it better. Can't get that out of a box. It's just GOOOOOD! Thank you for bring back good Baking. Ron

I made the coconut version of this recipe and made a crust from vanilla wafers instead of graham crackers. It’s a magical pie, it disappears in seconds! Very easy to follow directions, the custard sets up perfectly. No need for a lot of space either, I made this in our RV! I will be making the banana version later this week. I have a feeling it will be as fabulous. Thank you Lennie.

At the advice of my mom, I decided to make this for my Survivor group last night. It was a hit. I found it very easy to make. My only problem was that I didn't make enough. I thought one pie would be sufficient for 6 people, but as most everyone wanted seconds I should have made two. Thanks for sharing Lennie.

Excellent pie. Easy to make and delicious. My kids love puddings too, so I can see we will be making this in all its pudding variations as well: vanilla, coconut or banana. Almost as easy as pudding out of the box but much tastier! Update..this was so good I couldn't wait to try it again as a coconut cream pie. My daughter suggested I cover top with plastic wrap as it cooled and top it with whipped cream before serving. Divine!
