Blue Ribbon Recipe

The hardest part of making this banana coconut cream pie is waiting for the pie to chill. A light and creamy coconut pudding is on top of a buttery homemade graham cracker crust. Layered between the pudding and crust are sliced bananas. Sweet and light, we topped ours with a little extra whipped topping for decoration. Even after this pie has set, the filling is soft. A slice doesn't cut beautifully, but it tastes quite good.
