I looked up this recipe for my mom because she lost her copy. Her sister used to make this very fresh and delicious Banana Cream Pie. It was always a favorite at our family gatherings.

This is an amazingly good recipe for banana cream pie. Like the other reviewers I used more bananas than the recipe called for, 4 in total. I also mashed the bananas and combined them with the custard rather than lining the bottom of the pie dish with them. I think mashing the bananas instead really brings out the banana flavor more.

I've used this recipe for years, but since we're not crazy about banana cream pie, I use it to make coconut cream pie and chocolate cream pie.

I thought this pie was really good. Easy to make, too. In fact, this was my very first pie. Thank you!

excellent in a graham cracker crust...line the bottom and sides with banana slices. also, no need to "dip" each banana slice in lemon juice...just put all the slices in a large bowl and add a few tbs lemon juice then toss with your fingers until all are coated. great recipe!

The filling tasted good but it didn't set up at all!!!! I followed the directions and chilled it for a long time too! We put it in the freezer and it was pretty good then but not the same as pie.

Great recipe - thanks! It was my first time and it turned out great. The custard was a bit dense for me, so I added some extra cool-whip to it, which I thought made it absolutely perfect. I also REALLY appreciate the advice that the custard has to be absolutely cooled to room temperature before pouring on the bananas, it kept mine from turning black (along with the lemon juice). Easy, quick, and delicious! Thanks!

I am a pretty big cream pie fan, but I felt this recipe was overly sweet. I am a non-baker as well, so making the filling was a little daunting for me. My husband and kids loved it though, so although it wasn't my favorite I am still rating it three stars.

I have to say this turned out awful. the taste was good, but never set up thick. ive been cooking a long time and never had a custard not set up. i followed this one to a tee, even the part about drying off the bananas. i gave it 2 stars for taste alone, but wont be making this one again.

This recipie is AMAZING! Soooo rich and creamy and full of flavor. I recommend this recipie to anyone who wants a delicious pie for themselves or to serve to others. FYI, I didn't have any cornstarch on hand when I made this so I replaced it with 5 Tablespoons flour and it worked out perfectly.
