I usually like to test it out first before I make it. But with this Tart, I didn't!. We celebrated our Thanksgiving last night, that way all of us could be together. This dessert was a HIT!!. Better then pumpkin pie for sure.. Instead of regular pumpkin pie, this tart will be in MANY family gatherings to come!.. I would like to thank Ms. Ina for this fabulous recipe, I've been a fan of her cooking for years!! Thank you!!

I love that it's not a traditional pumpkin-pie treatment, and it really is a very tasty dessert. My whole family loved it. Only thing, with the amount of orange zest prescribed, my mom said she could taste the orange. So maybe a little too much zest? Otherwise, just great!

I have made this for family and friends during the holidays every year for the past few years. Everyone always loves it, and I get so many compliments. I don't think it's the easiest thing to make--I always feel like I have to stand there stirring the custard forever. But it's totally worth it! I will be making this delicious dish for years to come.

Truly yummy! I made it exactly as the recipe stated and my family loved it! If definitely not low-calorie, but if you care about that you wouldn't be making something like this anyway! Next time I make it, I'll experiment with cutting SOME (but not much of the fat and calories out. SO GOD!

Great recipe and yes, it seemed a bit much sugar. You have to remember Ina loves cookies and the sugar amounts remind me of chocolate chip cookies. I just put 1/4 cup in the crust because I didn't care if it was sweet at all. I put 1/2 cup of brown sugar, which was plenty sweet, although 3/4 cup would probably be fine too. I use honey in my whipped cream and just add it to taste. If you are unsure how much suger to add to the cream then just add and taste until you find the correct balance. As far as the orange zest goes, it's just one teaspoon and I love orange in anything. I used dried orange peel because it is my pantry staple and it is a bit more subtle than fresh. The banana will be stronger the older it is. That could be why some of you thought the banana was overpowering; try using a less ripe banana next time. If everyone keeps leaving out the banana and orange then it is just pumpkin mouse, kinda defeats the point.

The tart was like a light pumpkin pie, i really liked the banana addition, and I only added half of the orange zest. Very good!

My boyfriend slaved away making this last night and we had some for breakfast just now and it was so yummy I had to review it right away. I don't like pumpkin pie at all, but this tart had some really amazing flavor. The crust was delicious. The pumpkin and banana was a great combination and the orange zest added a really nice brightness to the overall taste. You really can't go wrong with Ina's recipes. We'll make this again for Thanksgiving dinner.

Yes, all of Ina's recipes are fool proof. Can you make this desert ahead of time and freeze it? Thanks, Tina
