I made this pie this weekend for my Super Bowl party. It was a huge hit! I only strayed from the recipe using Cool Whip instead whipping the cream, as others have said, just for the convenience.

Yum!! I made this for a "Super Bowl" party. I didn't whip the cream for the top until an hour before I was ready to serve it. I garnished it with a few chopped pecans and some shaved chocolate. It was so pretty and so good! Everyone loved it! The next time I made it, I took it over the top by making the homade pie filling for "Double Chocolate Pie" which was enough for the two pies I needed. I continued with the recipe as posted and it was to die for!

So easy and so tasty! I was feeling supremely lazy when I made this and blended the banana into the cream cheese and choc pudding layers.

My husband declared this pie to be too sweet. I agree, and think that 1/2 sugar added to the whipping cream is not necessary, and actually feels a bit gritty. If I make it again I will either cut the white sugar out completely or reduce it by half.

I substituted fat free whipped topping and omitted the pecans and it is setting in the fridge now. I KNOW this is going to be good and so EASY. This will be a keeper! It is very good, however the cream cheese was a little over-powering, next time will use 1/2 the amount.

I didn't follow the exact recipe since I was making this for a friend (who can't have gluten) and myself (slightly diabetic). The crust was made from crushed gluten-free pecan cookies, similar to a graham cracker crust. I used 40% less fat cream cheese with Splenda instead of confectioner's sugar and fat-free, no-sugar Jello instant chocolate pudding. I also cut the white sugar in half for the whipped cream. Bake the crust, cool, spread the cream cheese mixture, bananas, chocolate pudding, whipped cream, more bananas, chocolate pudding, whipped cream. Refrigerate overnight then decorate with whole pecans and whipped cream rosettes. People often "rave" about my cooking and baking (they seem to do this especially since I'm male) but this was one of my best desserts. I will be serving this again in a few weeks at my daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner. It was that good! For the rehearsal dinner I intend on making it in 9 x 13" pans rather than in pie form, just to be able to serve more people. Try this dessert, the original or my variation, it's great!

I used the Sweetened Whipped Cream recipe from this site for the whipped cream part and followed its instruction to a T. I also waited till the next day before I topped with whipped cream right before serving. I only did one layer of banana and whipped cream because the pie shell was already getting full, but still used all the ingredients. This is a very yummy dessert.
