This recipe ended up really rich & filling despite all the lower fat ingredients! Very nice banana flavour! I made for Sewing Circle & everyone enjoyed this dessert! I did have to tweak the recipe ever so slightly to get it to work for me. The honey didn't seem to be enough to hold the crust together properly so I added 2 Tbsp of melted margarine - it worked but would have been more solid with a little more than that. The filling was extremely thick & I didn't think there was any way I was going to get it spread evenly over the crust. So, I beat in an extra 1/2 cup of milk to thin it out & it worked great. I made the night before so by the time I served this, the bananas had turned brown - they tasted fine but didn't look so appetizing. Next time I'll toss with some lemon juice to prevent that.

This was a great dessert! It had everything that belongs in it....sweet,crunchy,soft. I made this into a pie and it worked. I cut the filling ingredients in 1/2. Thanks so much for posting! Made for My 3 Chefs '08.
