What can I say but, WOW!!!! AMAZING!!! Thats all I could get out of DH. He's not much of a dessert fan, with exception of a good banana pudding. He ask me if I could find a good recipe for Banana Cream Pie on Zaar. (my favorite place to be) I found this recipe and wanted to try. Alot of great reviews on this one. The list of ingredients was perfect. I did everything to the tee, with the exception of instead of 2 cups of milk I used 1/2 cup milk and 1 1/2 cups half and half. (needed to use to clear out fridge) I used deep dish 9" pie shell. Also used butter. Oh, and added about 2 tsp vanilla, mostly by accident, but it sure didn't hurt anything. I sliced 1 banana and layered on the bottom. The other two I sliced and mixed in with the cream mixture, and poured into crust. I loved how rich and creamy it was. DH said "this was the best Pie anything that he has ever had. And 10 stars! We loved it! Also, the directions were right on, and easy to follow. Thank you ratherbeswimmin' for an AMAZING dessert!

    I loved how thick the cream was! I used the suggestion of another reviewer and mixed the bananas with the cream before putting it in the crust. I also used pwd. milk in place of the milk (6 Tbsp. pwd milk, 2 cups water). I took another reviewers suggestion and made a vanilla wafer crust...my husband loved it! Thanks for the great recipe...it's our new favorite for banana cream pie!

    Wonderful!!! This pie filling will stand up to any I have ever tasted! Very easy to follow directions. I used bananas that were pretty ripe, so I only used two of them. The filling is very creamy, great homemade taste. I made whipped cream using heavy cream. It was fantastic!! This goes into my keepers file! Thanks NurseDi!!!

    I've made this pie a couple of times now. It goes together nicely, however I found the mixture a little too thick to just pour over the bananas. I didn't want gaps between the bananas so I mixed them in to custard and then poured mixture into pie crust. Nice Pie!
