"Creamy. Delicious. Lurid purple. What else could anyone want, in a pie? This recipe is incredibly tasty, the bananas a perfect addition to the sweet berry custard."

Tried this last night with my family, and it didn't get very good reviews. The bananas turned out leathery after cooking for an hour and the mulberries didn't add much flavour to the pie. The custard set nicely, and I might use this custard pie as a base for something else (like rhubarb pie maybe).
