I've been making this recipe for years and just noticed I never reviewed it. The above picture does not do this show stopper justice! <br/><br/>A couple things I did in addition/out of order: Use a chocolate pie crust. Toast the pecans, then chop them. Makes a lot of difference. Use canned whipped cream and finish individual slices just before serving. (It's quick.) After individual serving is plated, aim the whipped cream nozzle along the back, following the crust edge. Then completely cover in a back-and-forth motion to the tip of the triangle. Then, drizzle chocolate syrup lightly (w/teaspoon) over the whipped cream, using the same motion. Sprinkle with toasted pecans and garnish with a Maraschino cherry. <br/><br/>There were "oohs" and "ahs" when this came to the table. My daughter's boyfriend actually took a picture of it before he dug in. Thanks for posting, babygirl65! -
Very good, we loved it, the only thing I did different was I used 1 1/2 cups of milk and no water and I used srawberry wipped topping, maybe a little more chocolate syrup. This pie didn't last long! Remember to use a pie knife to lift the slices because it is soft, but that is the way banana splits are supposed to be right? A little messy. A definate keeper! Very good. -
YUMMY!! Really easy to make. I made this for my husband to bring to a picnic on Memorial Day. Since I wasn't going, I decided I had to try it before he brought it. I didn't have chocolate syrup but I did have a spoonful of mocha chocolate syrup left in the fridge that I used instead. I didn't have or use the whipped cream and cherries, and it still turned out good.
