My family was skeptical, but after reading the reviews I decided to try it. I was nervous because I was bringing this to someone's house for dinner, and she is a fabulous baker. Well, everyone who reviewed this was right. This is delicious. Tastes basically like a pumpkin pie, but it is light and refreshing instead of the heavy cooked variety. The banana I added was not super ripe, so the banana flavor was very subtle. If you want it stronger I would use a very ripe banana. Bravo Ina, I was the talk of the Thanksgiving table :

This was more work than a traditional pumpkin pie but I loved the taste and it went over really well. Probably the best luck I’ve had with a homemade Thanksgiving pie. I reduced the sugar as others have suggested and it is delicious. Most people loved it but a few found the banana pumpkin combo just too weird so you probably want to have another more traditional pie as well.

I love Ina and so thought one of her pies would be perfect for Thanksgiving. I should say that I am not a pumpkin pie fan overall, and so I made this for others. I thought it was an awful lot of steps for not much bang for the buck. It took awhile and tasted light and just fine but not spectacular. Would not make again.

I must admit I was a little intimidated with this recipe at first, but once I started preparing this dessert, I found it pretty easy to put together. Not sure I will make this again because I got mixed reviews because of the pumpkin/banana mixture. The replies went from excellent to it was O.K. I did make this the day before and I am glad I did.

Delicious pie/tart filling!! I love this tart!! I love orange zest so actually put more in so I could taste it in the filling. It says to refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight but 2 hours is definitely not long enough so plan ahead!

The tart is cooling in the refrigerator as we speak, however, I did taste the filling to see if my revisions made it too sweet or not enough. As per other's comments, I reduced the amount of sugar in the pumpkin mixture to 2/3 Cup and totally left the sugar out of the whipped dream. The result is very, very good and sweet enough for me and not overly so. Had I used the full amount of the sugar, it definitely would have been too sweet for my taste. I always read comments before I make anything on this website. They are very helpful. I can't wait for the whole thing to cool!

Ok - it cooled and was absolutely delicious! My daughter has requested I make it again this weekend.

Too sweet for my liking and not sure what it ends up tasting like. Looks like pumpkin, but doesn't take very much like pumpkin. Doesn't taste like banana either. Just like a sweet custard pie.

This is so easy and so delicious. And large enough to serve at a family Thanksgiving.

I've made this for the last 3 years...it's a crowd pleaser. It's a nice change from the traditional pumpkin pie.
