Warning: does come out excellent, but thickened, in this case, is bring custard to a boil. Otherwise it does turn runny! Suggestion about using 2 bananas is good too. When done right, it's an excellent pie!

Calculated to 3/4 recipe, and it filled my deep dish pie crust. DELISH, but as I suspected, the pudding is too soft and runs out of pie even after a night in the fridge. Presentation not good, but great flavor.

The pie was too sweet for my taste but hubby said he loved it. I think this would be very cute if served in individual single serve pie crusts. To get the most of the the pie presentation you need to cool completely before serving.

Great tasting custard - but had the same outcome as others. Cooked exactly like instructed here. All was fine until I cooked the meringue and what was beautiful custard before, turned to soup after. Will make pudding again, but won't cook a meringue onto it!

This was just as easy to make as a packaged mix without any preservatives. I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone enjoyed it! Would definitely make again. I usually bake desserts the day before but I wouldn't try that with this because the crust would get soggy.

I had not made a Banana Cream Pie in more than 30 plus years. I used to use a recipe from my old Betty Crocker cook book, but it was destroyed several years ago. I tried this recipe and had the same problem and some others of it being runny. I should have read the other reviews before I made the pie I am sure now that I did not cook the custard long enough and I should have let it cool before putting it in the pie shell.

I wish I'd read the reviews before I made this! Although the pudding does taste delicious, it was completely watery. I boiled it for quite a while and let it cool before pouring into the shell, and it seemed to have set up well at that point. I think putting it in the oven while baking the meringue ruined it. My graham cracker crust completely dissolved in this wet mess! I liked the idea of a meringue top, but think I'll stick with whipped cream next time so I can keep it cold. I also added an extra banana, and was very glad I did. One wouldn't have been enough.

Made this as directed except substituted Splenda for the sugar and for personal preference added 2 small bananas. Everyone loved this and it will be made again! TFS
