    I loved this recipe. I felt good eating a lighter dessert. I served it to company and two people asked me for the recipe. Also, I am lactose intolerant and was able to substitute lactaid without a hitch.

    I was very pleased with this recipe. I served it for company and they too loved it. I substituted Splenda for the sugar and I bought the graham cracker crust. It was so delicious! I'm making it again!

    Although this doesn't compare to a regular Banana Cream Pie, for what it is, it is quite good. If I were dieting and needed a little something to satisfy my sweet tooth, this would do it without making me feel guilty. Very creamy and banana-y, just not very sweet. Not bad, definitely something to consider when trying to cut back on the fat and calories, but if you're not dieting, you may be disappointed as it is not like a regular banana cream pie.

    The first batch was a bit bland, but with the addition of 2 tsp banana rum, 1 TBSP dark rum, and an extra tsp of vanilla, it had just the boost in flavor we were looking for! For a time saver -- buy a premade reduced fat graham cracker crust (it has the same amount of fat as hers. Debbie, the low fat Safeway brand graham crackers don't have saturated or trans fat in them. Some of the regular fat ones do, Honey Maid is an exception. Now that including trans fat on the label is law, many products have been reformulated to eliminate them. Compare the labels of different products. To address "don't bother", you have to compare to the regular product. Or you can go even skinnier, as I did, and skip the whipped cream, half the egg yolks, and use nonfat milk. For a huge slice (1/6 of a pie, there are only 4.5 grams of fat, and it was absolutely delicious!

    No, this recipe is not better for you and it's not even good. Egg yolks, whipping cream, forget it. Take a tip from Rachael Ray, who says she's not a great baker. Ms. Krieger should admit that her 'healthy' desserts are not healthy, and are not good.

    I watched her make this on the show last week and it sounded so great . . . and it's even BETTER than it sounded!!! (The only 2 changes I made were to add a bit of nutmeg to the custard and to make the crust out of 1/2 graham crackers and 1/2 zwieback. What an exquisite, classicly banana banana cream pie!!!

    I thought the filling was a bit bland. My bananas may not have been ripe enough. Next time I might add more vanilla or banana extract. The crust and texture were good, though.

    I followed the recipe (for the custard fillingexactly and it turned out to be just delicious. The only changes I made was to add vanilla bean seeds and to make a chocolate graham cracker crust with pecans and chocolate chips. Fantastic. All my guests loved it!!
