Ok, the taste of this pie was lovely. I didn't bake it, slightly decreased the sugar, used cornstarch instead of flour as suggested and topped with whipped cream. However I was not crazy about the consistency of the filling. It wasn't that heavenly, light cream I love in Banana cream pie, it was slightly gummy. My boyfriend would give it 5 stars for sure, he absolutely loved it. I found it to be very good, not great.

I made this dish for dinner tonight. Though it was tasty, I wasn't thrilled by the flavor. I agree with other reviewers that omitting the salt is a must-do. Even without salt I found it to taste a bit salty. It looked very pretty, however, and the consistency was nice. I'd probably make this again but I don't think it will be a staple.

This is a wonderful rice pudding recipe as is, but I make one little change that brings it from delicious to decadent, in my opinion. I substitute the first 1 1/2 cups of milk for coconut milk. I then add 1/3 cup of shredded coconut. For the remaining 1/2 cup of milk I use one part coconut milk and one part half n' half. You can keep the raisins but I omit them (personal preferance), and sprinkle cinnamon ontop. Mmm!
