Cream Pie (Chocolate, Coconut, and Banana Variations)

Hands down, the BEST cream pie recipe I've ever tasted! It was passed down from my mom, who got it from a neighbour while living briefly in Los Angeles way back in 1969. The chocolate variation has been the universal birthday 'cake' in my family for almost as long as I can remember. I've adapted it to be more microwave friendly and even less time-consuming than the original. (Cooking time is cooling time) In case you don't have a microwave or just want to try this on the stovetop, see my cousin CrystalB's Ultimate Chocolate Cream Pie for the method.
SERVES 6 -8
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 eggs or 3 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 (9 inch) pie crusts, pre-baked
Directions
1
In a microwavable bowl, mix sugar, flour, and salt.2
In a separate bowl, whisk milk and eggs or egg whites. Add to dry ingredients.3
Microwave for two minutes and stir.4
Return to microwave for one minute intervals, stirring in between, until custard starts to cook. (3 or 4 more minutes. I generally quit cooking after a 1-inch ring of cooked custard forms around the edge of the bowl.).5
Remove from microwave and add margarine and vanilla.6
Cool slightly and pour into pie crust. Cover with wax paper and refrigerate 2 hours before serving.7
*Chocolate Cream Pie: Add 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with margarine and vanilla and mix until chips are completely melted. Pour into crust.8
*Banana Cream Pie: Slice 2 or 3 bananas into bottom of pie crust before pouring pie filling over top.9
*Coconut Cream Pie: Add 1/2 cup coconut with margarine and vanilla and pour into pie crust.10
Serve with whipping cream and garnishes of your choice.

i made the chocolate and banana and neither one set for me and i have no idea why! I was in charge of desserts for Easter also 
i used the egg whites and after the original 2 min did the additional 3 as directed stirring etc. It refrigerated half the day and after i noticed it wasn't firming enough i threw it in the freezer bu that was only a temp fix obviously. I was very disappointed

This recipe was for a chocolate pie for us . It was delicious.I used milk chocolate chips (about a cup,it was according to taste). It had great flavor, nice and high, and just a nice old fashioned chocolate cream pie flavor. It sliced very nicely. a recipe that will be in my favorites cookbook.

OMG! I made this recipe and everyone loved it! I made the chocolate version but, I added 1 cup of chips instead of 1/2 cup. It was so rich and creamy.

We loved the rich chocolate flavor of this pie! We also added some instant coffee with the chocolate chips - mocha pie is definitely delicious!
One thing that was disappointing is that our pie didn't set up. It remained rather runny, though still delicious. I think this might be because I used lactose-free milk.
Word to the wise: Use regular milk!!
