This pie is delicious. I used nonfat milk instead of the cream/milk and it still turned out great. It took longer to thicken during the cooking part (about 6 minutes instead of 2) but was worth it for the lower fat version. I also baked the graham crust with egg whites for 5 minutes before putting in the filling to keep the integrity of the crust.

With the high rating this recipe had, I was excited to try it out. Unfortunately I was not impressed. Everyone who tried it, including me, said it was just “Okay” (when all the other pies I made that day were “great” and “wonderful” … “Okay” was not good enough) I’m not sure I will be using this recipe again.

This turned out fabulous and it was so easy to make! My husband says it's even better than regular banana cream pie... that's HUGE! I used a graham cracker crust, but next time I'm going to make a Ritz cracker crust. I made this a day ahead so I dipped all of my banana slices into lemon juice and then put them on a paper towel to drain. They still looked great today and didn't have any lemon flavor. I topped the pie with shaved chocolate swirls - so pretty! Can't wait to make this one again!

This was so good. My whole family loved it. The only thing I did different was that I added 1 tsp of banana extract because I really was craving bananas, definitely will make again.

This was a very easy pie to make and it's a great dessert option that doesn't utilize the oven. I made it with soy milk and heavy cream. The chocolate layer was much creamier than the bottom custard layer but I think that's because I used a whisk to mix the chocolate in and stirred the original mixture in the saucepan with a spatula. The whisking made a big difference. I had a 5 year old and an 8 year old helper and there were many steps that they could easily do. We topped it off with homemade whipped cream, more bananna slices and chcolate shavings. A hit with the whole family!

This was the first time I had ever made a homemade pie. My 7 yr old son and I made it together. It was absolutely delicious (and easy).

Yum! Came out great. I didn't try to make this healthier on purpose, but I didn't have any heavy cream and ended up using half 2% and half skim milk. It turned out great! Also, I am impatient and didn't refrigerate the chocolate separate from the vanilla for an hour, and I didn't have a problem.

I brought this pie to a dinner and it was very popular. It was a little too sweet for me, but it's great for a cake-y, decadent dessert.

My pie turned out ok, kind of gluey. I think I cooked the custard a little too long or used too much cornstarch. My graham cracker crust went well with the custard but I would have liked more banana flavor. It was good with walnuts sprinkled on top but I probably won't make this again. It didn't really blow me away.

YUMMY!! I made this with the French Pastry Pie Crust from this site. The chocolate, banana & vanilla combo is excellent. I mixed some whip cream with the chocolate before spreading it over the bananas because we prefer creamier chocolate & kept everything else the same. Make sure to really chill the pie before cutting it, though. My husband couldn't wait so we cut the pie too soon and it made a mess, but a very tasty mess. Thanks for the recipe!!

Fantastic! I couldn't put my fork down. Be sure to keep stirring in the saucepan to keep everything from becoming lumpy. I didn't have to melt the chocolate chips either, the mixture was warm enough from being cooked I just tossed the chips in.

Yum! We loved this pie. It's pretty too, although a bit messy to serve. I substituted soy milk for both the milk and cream and it worked beautifully. It's excellent in a crumb crust.
