User Comments:

• "This pie is a masterpiece! The coconut cream filling is so rich and delicious, and the banana slices add the perfect sweetness."
• "I've tried many banana cream pies, but this one is the best by far. The Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk gives it an extra creamy and luscious texture."

• "This pie is a hit with my family and friends. It's always the first to disappear at gatherings."

Special Precautions and Tips:

• Be careful not to overmix the pie crust dough, as this can toughen it.
• Make sure the bananas are ripe but not overripe. Overripe bananas will make the pie filling too soft.
• If you don't have shredded coconut, you can use flaked coconut instead.
• To make your own whipped cream, simply beat 1 cup of heavy cream with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
