This was best banana cream pie recipe I’ve ever made and I’ve tried several. They usually come out too soupy but this custard stood up great and had delicious flavor. I did use a standard pie crust though that I homemade. This is now my go to recipe!

I’ve made a lot of pies, and this is THE BEST pie I’ve ever made!!! SO GOOD! Followed the recipe exactly, however in the crust I did 1 less tablespoon of brown sugar. THANK YOU!

Hi Myriam! I actually have a coconut cream pie that I would suggest. 🙂

How can I modify the recipe to make Coconut cream pie instead?
Thank you for your great advice.

Hi Lori! I haven’t tried it with banana extract to say for sure how it would go. If you do try it, I would use it sparingly. 🙂

How would it be using banana extract? I make the coconut cream with the coconut extract which turns out so good

I’ve made this a few times and it’s the best banana cream pie! Always a hit! I make mine with a graham cracker crust but that’s just a personal preference. It is truly amazing!

Too sweet not what I think of when eating banana cream pie, crust flavor was very overwhelming and banana flavor didn’t shine through as I hoped. I really wonder if I did something wrong with the recipe because the filling was runnier than I anticipated. I may not have cooked it long enough. Oh well I will keep looking.. Sam’s recipes are always really good may have been my tastebuds

Yay! We’re so happy you enjoyed Mar. Also, if you ever want to try making vanilla wafers homemade, we do have a vanilla wafer recipe too ☺️

I made this today, and it is absolutely amazing!! I used a Graham cracker crust because I couldn’t find any vanilla wafer cookies, and I looked at a few different stores. It is DELICIOUS! definitely a keeper!

The first banana pie recipe I have ever eaten and made. The vanilla wafer crust is the star of this pie. I’ve made this one at least 5 times and it turns out so good every time!

Hi Britney! It definitely won’t taste as good, but it could work I suppose. 🙂

Hi Sam,

Instead of the homemade pudding mix would an instant pudding mix work to with this recipe? If I were to try it how much would I need?

After serving this pie, I was told it was the best banana cream pie the people I was serving had ever had — and it is their favourite dessert! Making it twice in three days upon request.

Hi Catherine! You should be fine to just use the recipe as is. The 10″ is only a little bit bigger so an alteration would probably be more difficult than it’s worth. That’s a great gift! I hope everyone loves them! 🙂

Hi just want to say everyone I make this pie for absolutely loves it. I have a question, I will be making 2 of these as xmas gifts. I do not want to use my glass 9.5″ pie plates because they are for family members that are not local. I bought Hefty EZ Foil Aluminum 10″ Pie Baking Pans with Lids and I was just wondering if you had a any suggestions as far as adjusting the amount of ingredients for the crust and pie filling for a 10″ pie pan instead of 9.5″?

In reply to Megan.

Hi Megan! You can actually see the consistency in the video. It is supposed to be pudding-like when you pour it into your crust. I’m not sure there’s a way to fix it if you’ve already assembled the pie. 🙁 It may have needed to be cooked a bit longer. 🙁

Should it have been firm before I put it in the pie crust? I’m worried it’s too runny. It’s definitely not a “pudding” while I’m letting it chill. Any thoughts on if it will turn out or how I can fix it? 🙈

In reply to Megan.

Hi Megan! It will become more firm as it chills, but it is still a pudding and will maintain that softer, pudding-like consistency even after chilling.
