This was a wonderful pie! Set up beautifully, and tasted divine. I didn't have whipped topping or any cream for this, so I did modify the recipe a touch... I have a great big pie plate, and this only filled it about halfway, so I made a no-bake cheesecake (cream cheese, lemon juice, sw condensed milk) and poured that on top to fill out the pie... heavenly. Thanks for the great recipe!

Wonderful pie! This was not only easy but very tasty. I will be making this again for sure. Thanks so much for posting!

Fantastic recipe for strawberry pie! and very easy to make, I used Cool Whip topping in place of the whipped cream. I do advise to eat this the same day as it is made because of the bananas turing dark. This is the most delicious pie with just the perfect amount of sweetness! Thanks Anita, we will enjoy this for dessert tonight!...Kitten:)
