This wonderful sounding recipe was cut out of a magazine. Dated May 4,2007. It is a wonderful pie, a real gourmet tasting recipe. With the extra time it takes in cooking the home-made pudding and the added fresh bananas. It becomes a real winner. I had the pleasure of tasting a slice of this pie, and I highly recommend it to all. 4/3/12
