Reviews
Came out so good! I’ve made this several times since! Easy & perfect every time.
I followed the recipe exactly except for the coconut which I completely omitted because I read that many other reviewers did the same and it turned out great for them. For me, it turned out like soup:( The only thing I’m thinking is I used oat milk, is that what could have caused the issue? Otherwise, maybe I didn’t beat the pudding mixture hard enough? How firm is the pudding mixture supposed to be before putting it into the pie crust? I gave it two stars bc the chocolate mix and the pudding mix both tasted delicious at least.
This pie was a great success! I followed the recipe, but did add chocolate shards to the top and sprinkled toasted coconut around the edges of the crust. I brought it to a small get together and there was only one small slice left. Everyone including myself thought it was delicious.
Delicious! Next time I would use less coconut.
This has turned into a holiday staple in my house. I have been making it for 6 years. Every time i make it for a holiday party, work gathering or BBQ it’s always a hit.
doubled the chocolate layer as it barely covered the bottom of the pie. It was delicious. I will share this receipe with my friends
The kids didn’t care for it (why is there crunchy stuff in here!), but I thought it was good for what it is…Quick banana pie that’s not from scratch, but it gets the job done.
A delihtful change from regular banana.
I made it just like the recipe and it was delicious, thank you for sharing it!
Loved by all. I made several modifications to fit our family’s needs. First, I reduced the amount of shredded coconut to 1 cup. I also used a large package of vanilla instant pudding (5 ounces) and used 2 cups of milk to be in proportion with the pudding. For the chocolate, I found that we had no squares, so I used semisweet chocolate chips (1/2 cup). Finally, instead of putting the whipped cream on before refrigerating, I put on a dollop as I served each piece. However, I don’t think that the whipped cream (or Cool Whip) is absolutely necessary if you are looking to cut a few calories. This is a great recipe and by far the best banana cream pie recipe I have ever had. The chocolate layer adds a lot.
Came out soupy for the 1st take. Second take- I added more bananas and tried to make the vanilla pudding a little thicker. Looks good!
Delicious, quick, and easy!
I like using an Oreo Crust and doubling the chocolate.
Also, Banana Cream Pie Pudding mix makes this extra yummy!
I’m not a super fan of coconut, so I usually just leave it out.
I made this for a yummy summer treat at the lake and my aunt couldn’t stop helping herself to this scrumptious pie.

This recipe was delicious. I did use white chocolate pudding instead of vanilla simply because it was what I had available. A hit at our house! And so simple to make.
Okay, so this pie was literally gone within 10 minutes of it leaving the fridge. I barely got a slice of this masterpiece! I only did one thing differently: I doubled the amount of chocolate in the bottom because it just didn’t seem like enough. It turned out perfect after I did that, and it also set very well, not a single slice broke. Everyone loved it and I got the golden compliment of approval from my grandmother and mother. With this pie, I finally earned my place among the women in my family who know how to cook like pros. Thanks for the recipe, I will definitely be making again.
I cant imagine why anyone wouldnt love this. I used a Marie Calander frozen pie crust -excellent. Added a little extra chocolate and a touch of dark rum; maybe a 1/2 tsp….It really added nice flavor. Extra Bananas. White chocolate pudding, because thats all I had on hand, and toasted the coconut. On a side note; I refrigerated pudding so it would thicken up and then added coconut in with a wire wisk. I used only 1c of coconut in the pie and topped it off with remaining…Amazing!
This is not my favorite, but everyone liked it. I took the advice of other reviewers and added more chocolate and if I make this again I will double up on the bananas because as the recipe is written it mostly tasted like pudding and could use more bananas for flavor.
Excellent!
Delicious. Mine never really setup. Its entirely possible this is because I left out the coconut. It just sounded like too many flavors. Instead I did 1 layer of banana slices and then mashed the rest (about 1 & 1/2 bananas) and stirred that into the pudding mixture. Its absolutely delicious pie soup. 3 stars, to be revised later after attempting a second time.
this is SO delicious! i have made it 3 times and every single time, it disappears so fast! everyone loves this pie. made it for my boyfriend and his mother and they enjoyed it as well! I HIGHLY recommend you make this pie!~
This was pretty good, however; it was way too much coconut for me & i love the stuff. I used a graham cracker crust, and topped with toasted coconut. will make again, but with less coconut and perhaps more nanners.
So good, I’ve made it many times already. I’ve done it with and without coconut, both are great. I also leave out the whipped topping and add some sliced almonds on top. I use graham crcker crust like others suggested and milk chocolate morsels. I’ve done it with banana pudding and vanilla pudding and either way tastes great.
