Cocunut-Banana Cream Pie with Pineapple image

I came up with this base off of a recipe I found on Myrecipes.com. I was wanting a REALLY tropical tasting pie. This is what I ended up with. It's the best of both worlds. I served it at a family gathering and those who prefer coconut cream pie to banana cream pie really enjoyed the combination.

Overall, I thought this pie was just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to make it again.

This pie is very rich. A small slice is all you need.

The crust was a little soggy. I think I would blind-bake it next time.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

This coconut banana cream pie with pineapple was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the crust was flaky and delicious.
