It was really good--just make sure you're NOT using old bananas. I made the mistake of putting in one frozen ripened banana and whenever I came across one of the slices it was definitely an unappetizing difference in texture.

I only made the pudding itself because my sister didn't want the pie crust or meringue. We followed the recipes exactly and it was delicious! A little too sweet for my mom though. I layered everything right after I took it off the stove and then put it in the fridge overnight. The flavor of the bananas came out really well and the wafers seemed to 'melt' into the pudding(which I like so I can mix it all up). I will definitely be keeping this recipe. :)

This is way too much sugar. I used half the amount, per the suggestion of others and it was still too sweet. We love our sweets but dang. I'll try it again but with maybe just 1/2 cup sugar.

Really good!! It was a bit on the sweet side but I forgot the vanilla and that may be why. Vanilla cuts that sweetness and gives more of a flavor. It was still good though! I will make to take to the next BBQ! Well worth the effort! VERY GOOD!!!

This was a lot of work for this dish. It was very sweet, even my daughter thought it was too sweet.

This was an excellent recipe. I did use only 3/4 cups of sugar for the pudding and it was still sweet. I also added 1 tablespoon of corn starch. As I was stirring the original recipe my pudding was not thickening. I made one batch on Friday and had to make another batch on Saturday. My grandkids kept coming back for more "Nana Pudding" as they call it. Of course I'm Nana also. They loved the pudding and now I acquired the name of "Nana Ana Banana Pudding". Thank you for a great recipe.

This is a really good recipe. I used evaporated milk instead, and it turned out great!

Yumm! Excellent! I made this for Easter and it was long gone by the time we came home. I didn't change a thing, but I wanted to make 2 9x13 dishes for both sides of the family, so I figured, 1 batch serves 8, tripling the recipe should be good - wrong!! I tripled it and it made 1 9x13" dish - Just a word of warning. Also, for that size dish, I used 4 bananas (and don't triple the wafers either).

As others recommended, I doubled the pudding recipe and cut the sugar by half. I also chilled the pudding before pouring over the bananas and wafers- hot pudding seems to "cook" the bananas and give them an odd texture. I made the meringue with 1/2 cup sugar (because I had 6 egg whites) and thought it was fine. The end product reminded me of dinners at my Aunt's house. Absolutely AMAZING! Thanks so much for posting the recipe.

my pie came out kind of runny and never got eaten by anyone. the top crust was a definite brown so i dont think it was undercooked. dont know what happened. kind of confused by the recipe cos it calls for wafer crumbs, but in the directions it says line plate with alternating wafers and banana slices. hmmm... so i used mini wafers and alternated them with the banana slices. didnt care for that - maybe that was why it turned out bad. if i were to make it again, i would grind up the wafers and have that as a bottom layer and then put a layer of bananas on top of the wafer layer.

I thought this recipe was pretty good. I do think that 1 1/2 cups of sugar is way too much. I only used 1/2 cup and it was fine. I must say that I do like it much better when it first comes out of the oven rather than chilling it first.

I doubled this recipe to make 2 pies and I thought the 3 cups of sugar was too much so I even cut back by 1/2 cup and it was still too much sugar, and I am a sweetaholic. I would do 3/4 for one and 1 1/2 cups of sugar for 2 pies. It is sickening sweet. I had to make an extra batch of milk and flour to add and it was still comaville! Other ingredients worked well. I was taking 1 pie to a get together and didnt because it was too sweet.

This simply reminded me of my grandmother's Banana Pudding! We loved it! Hubby didn't seem too keen on the meringue, but I thought it made it just right!

This was a very good recipe, but I have to admit I did tweak it a bit as I remember my Grandmother used undiluted evaporated milk in her pudding since the can was only 12 oz. I also used a half a cup of half and half. My husband, the banana pudding fanatic, acclaimed it to be "Killer"!
