If you have not guessed it I love bananas. This is how the pie was made before instant pudding. If you leave out the bananas you have a vanilla pie or you can add i cup of coconut if you choose.

There is no exact time to cook this. Just till it is thick.


Are you my grandmother, Dutchie? Wow! I am so very ready to make this pie (I, too, am a banana freak!) and I'll also make the other versions that you noted here. You have MORE than earned my 77885078! Thanks, Dutchie.

Yes, this is the best way for any cream pie...from scratch, rich and delicious. It's beyond compare - thanks for sharing....


Homemade pie filling is just so far and above the instant filling - while instant is easy and tastes good, homemade is like eating a slice of heaven...great post - reminds me of grandma and warmth and security!


I haven't had homemade in years. This pie is Excellent!


Thank you all for the comments. *s*
