Grandma's Banana Cream Pie

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 22:20:17 -0400

My grandmother was a wonderful cook, made great pies, and this was my favorite. She always used a homemade pie crust and served it with a dollop of Cool Whip or whipped cream on top. She didn't give me any idea how many bananas to use...so I guessed. She would also use the same custard, making a half batch, for the filling in cream puffs. -- posted by Karen67

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Banana Cream Pie

Tue, 03 Apr 2007 22:15:28 -0400

My family loves this recipe. I found it in a Kraft food & family book. I will give the original recipe here. I have made a few changes for our family such as I like Reeses peanut butter and I use Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips if I don't have the bakers chocolate. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do. Shortcut: You can substitute a prepared Nilla Pie Crust for the Nilla wafers and butter. Cooking time is actually refrigeration time. -- posted by Chef #337446

Coconut Cream Pudding With Cinnamon

Sat, 07 Apr 2007 23:52:00 -0400

I started to make a vanilla cream pudding and then decided to add coconut and cinnamon. Rich and creamy. You may add bananas if you wish. It is a good filling for a cream pie or just a pudding with garnish if you wish. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

I've had this recipe for years I'm posting it to get values (calories, fat, etc.). The cooking time is the chilling time. The original recipe didn't call for low fat or non-fat cream cheese and sour cream. These changes reduce the fat by about half and I don't notice a differ between regular and no-fat ingredients. -- posted by Barb in WNY

Pineapple Cloud Pie

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 23:23:26 -0400

A co-worker brought this in for myself and my wife to try. I was apprehensive at first (I don't usually like pies) but was completely won over on my first bite! I came home from work and started searching RZ for the recipe. To my surprise, no one had sent it in. I ended up finding similar ones on the site, but none that used the Rice Krispies as the crust. Personally, I think this made the pie better (and was why I loved it). I finally found the recipe on RiceKrispies.com and knew I had to submit it first thing! I have left the directions alone but substituted the brand names of the products my co-workers used (since I KNOW how AMAZING this is). I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Breezy Banana Caramel Pie

Wed, 01 Aug 2007 18:46:11 -0400

From Clean Home Journal "Forget that Tennessee version of making caramel pie by throwing the entire can of condensed milk into boiling water (that's dangerous!). Here Chef James Brockman gives a simpler way to get the same great taste without the danger! Start with a prepared baked pie crust, and you're more than halfway there. The sliced ripe bananas add texture and a finishing sweet touch." -- posted by Trinitys Momma

Reduced-Fat Impossible Coconut Pie (Sugar-Free)

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 21:25:51 -0400

If you thought your days of coconut cream pie were over once you started that diet, then you haven't tried this recipe. It's more or a macaroon-custard-souffle than a "cream" pie, but it is delicious nonetheless. The best part? You don't even have to make a crust for it because it makes its own as it bakes. That's why it's called impossible! -- posted by Vraklis

Other fruits can be added or substituted, like pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, oranges, cherries, peaches, etc. It's fun to use red, white and blue fruits for the Fourth of July. -- posted by mrsheathbar

Fully Loaded Million Dollar Pie

This is a no bake recipe and the key to all the flavors blending well is to make sure the fruit, nuts and coconut are all in very small bits. This recipe has been floating around our workplace for a few years and we all take turns making it since we all have the recipe now. Easy to double as well. Hope you try it! -- posted by dmac085

Banana Cream Pie With Caramel Drizzles and Chocolate Sauce

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:12:09 -0500

This is the most requested dessert from Emiril's restraunt. This is a time consuming recipe, but it truly is a show stopper that will be met with raves. Don't skimp and not use a real vanilla bean, your pie will not be nearly as good. Make sure the bananas are ripe, yet firm and cover them completely with the pastry cream to prevent discoloration. It is also important to make sure the pastry cream is stiff in order to cut nice slices. -- posted by cookiedog

This pie was inspired by Wendys Kitchen's delicious Recipe #260890 which is made of nothing but raw fruit and nuts. (Well, and a little splash of vanilla.) Cooking time is chilling time. This pie tastes very good, but it does turn brown fairly quickly. I will try 2 Tblsp lemon juice next time. -- posted by mliss29

Original Banoffi/Banoffee Pie

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 23:06:59 -0400

I gather there is a bit of controversy in England over Banoffi/Banoffee pie ... the controversy swirling around where it came from, etc. Apparently most of the credit is claimed by Nigel Mackenzie of the Hungry Monk in Sussex; however, on Ian Dowding's web site, there is a slightly different story. Mr. Dowding was the head chef at the Hungry Monk, and concludes that they didn't invent it in the strict sense of "invention," but helped it evolve. (It's an interesting story; you can read it at http://www.iandowding.co.uk.) In any event, this is Mr. Dowding's recipe for what he believes is the best version of Banoffi pie. Note that the long prep time includes time to make the toffee/caramel by boiling the cans of sweetened condensed milk. -- posted by KLHquilts

This was posted on the back of a store brand can of sweetened condensed milk. It sounds so good. Unfortunately, my daughter's allergic to pineapple, but it gives options for lime, lemon, cranberry, orange or tangerine juice. I think the combination of orange and chocolate could be delicious.

As I continue to enter dessert recipes from our recent cruise, I am seeing a definite & freq trend for make-ahead combos using fruits w/a custard. This recipe from *Carnival Creations* by Cyrus Marfatia (Exec Chef of Carnival Cruise Lines) takes us to the far-eastern cuisines of India, Malaysia & Thailand. Altho the recipe suggests the French influence of Napoleon Brandy, my DH would look upon that as a "sinful waste" & I will use a more std cooking brandy.

Light Mango Tart

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 18:18:22 -0400

A light, moist tart that really compliments the flavor of ripe mangoes. This is a very easy recipe, very quick to get together and with no uncommon ingredients. I make this for simple family weekday dinners and weekend lunches with whatever fruit is in season - I've tried this recipe with peeled peaches and with nectarines as well and I imagine that strawberries would be great, too! I got this recipe from a friend who says she got it from a magazine. To the ingredients listed, I also like to add a tablespoon or two of coarsely chopped or processed almonds to give the tart a bit of a crunch. -- posted by ChefEmma

This is old fashioned British school dinner food at its best. If this doesn't take you back to childhood then I don't know what will. No running in the corridors! -- posted by robd16

Delicious Banana Caramel Pie

This is a combination of a couple of recipes I have used in the past. It is a huge hit with our families and is always requested at family gatherings. I usually keep a couple of cans of boiled condensed milk in my fridge around the holidays for last minute pies! The banana and caramel combo will melt in your mouth! -- posted by Degochef1971

Fruit Pizza

Very appealing to the eye and even better; easy to make and fun to eat. A great way to celebrate fruit so have fun and mix and match. You can even have fun with the "crust," try using sugar cookie or even choc chip cookie dough instead of the pizza pie crust. No matter how you personalized this recipe it's sure to put a smile on everyones face! -- posted by Chef #1544785

Tangy Apricot Nut bars on a Piecrust. If you have any talent with crust these are sublime. Saudi style ingredients w/ Ozark kitchen teqniques (my family were expatriots in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for decades). This is my original recipe. -- posted by Weewah
