    First pie I ever made and it was absolutely amazing! I thought the banana taste would be overwhelming but it was just perfect. Would definitely recommend making this desert for anyone who's in the mood for a pie.

    Just double the recipe and it is perfect. It is not too sugary(for those who do not like those types of pies I really liked it better as the week went on...dessert for the week.

    This dessert was excellent, exactly what I was looking for after a meal; light and satisfying. I didn't have the graham cracker go up the sides but it still made a thick bottom layer and was really a great crust. I didn't have enough milk and only had skim so I did 1 cup skim and 1/2 cup half & half and it turned out excellent. Creamy and thick and made plenty for me. I know others said it was flat (?, but I didn't have that problem at all. I cut it into 12 pieces and they were satisfying pieces. I also didn't make the whipped cream, only put a tablespoons worth of cool whip on my piece, it was plenty. Thank Ellie for sharing these great make over ideas!

    We enjoyed this pie but the crust was a little thin with only 12 crackers. Next time I'll try adding a couple more. Very easy and delicious.

    Very good! I did use some comments that others made and added 2 tsp banana flavoring, 1 tablespoon of rum, 1 extra teaspoon vanilla. It came out very creamy and tasty! For the sake of time I bought a low fat graham cracker crust, but have made the crust when I made the yummy chocolate pie of Ellie's.
    It was very hard to just eat one piece. My husband loved it as well!

    It came out good, however next time I will double the recipe because it came out very flat. Also I will add the bananas to the cream, because I was missing the banana flavor.

    It tasted exactly like a Banana Cream Pie should. The only problem was it was too flat.Don't listen to the part where it says press crumb mixture 1/2 inch up the sides.I thought it would rise since it was so underheight for a pie, but it didn't. When you cover the pie with the crust, put 4 large bananas and double the custard. I put 2 large bananas and it oknly covered one layer. I don't know about you but 1/4 cup whipping cream was way too small and could not even make 3 small dollops around the pie. When it was ready to serve, at the last minute I made a pattern on the crust straight from the whipped cream can. Everyone agreed it was way too flat. Since it was so flat, I had to give big pieces in width and it turned out there were only 6 pieces.

    I had great hopes for this pie, as I think custard and banana go together so well. The crust was delicious, but the custard was too gluey. Perhaps ommitting the gelatin would have been better. It's edible, but not that terrific.

    Great pie, not too heavy - will make again.

    I added a little more butter and used 9 sheets of graham crackers instead of 6.

    Hey, we all eat fats ,even mayonaisse we love it.
    so why make a entire banana pie with low fat milk,
    no way,
    when you make a pie, i'd make it with HALF N HALF,it comes outwith a heavier texture.,
    or with whole fat milk.
    sprinkle abit of lemon squeeze over the bananas FIRST into a small bowl, to coat them so they don't turn brown, then use them sliced of course.
    i'd also add some crumbled up pieces of
    peanuts up top of any whip cream topping.
