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.
