Great pie! I get rave reviews every time it make it. I didn't have pecans the first time so I used almonds the I grinned down. Loved the almond flavour with the bananas,so I always use almonds now.

The pie itself was very good, but the crust just didn't pass. -Lori in WI.

This is also great if you replace the regular pudding with sugar free and the cream cheese with light.
