Comments
This is a marvelous cream pie. For Chocolate cream pie omit banana increase the sugar 1 one cup and add 4 oz. chocolate chips.

For butterscotch cream pie....substitute 3/4 cup well packed brown sugar for granulated.

For coconut cream pie, add 1 1/2 flaked sweetened coconut to filling Sprinkle toasted coconut over top.

The above recipe is a basic cream recipe that I use for a variation of cream pies, and it never fails. No imitation taste! Enjoy Husband.
