  1. Delicious pie. My husband and sons had two pieces each.
     
  2. I am a little embarrassed about the picture after seeing the one in Southern Living BUT this was a great recipe. Very nice change from the regular banana pudding I make. This is just like my mom's except for the pie crust. My boys kept asking me "is it done yet?" and devoured it quickly. Thanks for a great recipe. Made for Recipe Swap 2008.
     
  3. I made this last weekend after salivating over it on the cover of Southern Living. It was wonderful and quite easy to make. I've already had 3 requests for another one. THANKS DG for posting the recipe.

  1. The only change I made was to use a regular deep-dish pie crust that I pre-baked.
