Loved this pie. Instead of putting all of the whip topping on at once, I put it on the individual servings it worked out perfectly. Also, you definitly need a little more than 1 1/4 cups of crushed nila wafers for crust. I used about a cup and a half.

This recipe is AWESOME!!! I am not a huge banana fan but still really loved it! I also made it with banana pudding, and it turned out great!

I made this pie with banana cream pudding instead of vanilla. EVEN BETTER with the extra banana flavor! Chocolate part is a bit hard to cut into but I personally enjoyed biting into it! A bit easier to make with a premade graham cracker crust.

Everyone seemed to really like it. My brother particularly loves banana pudding so I thought he might enjoy this also....he really did.

Best banana cream pie I've ever made. Made it for Memorial weekend and it was a big hit.
