Before Cool Whip and instant pudding, this was how a cream pie was made. If you leave out the bananas, you have vanilla cream pie. If you add 1 cup shredded coconut to milk as it's being heated, you have coconut cream pie.

This is such a delicious pie filling!! I’ve made this twice now and OMG so good. I put 1/2 a banana at the bottom of canning jars and pour the pudding over!! Single servings and they look so good in the jars. Thank you and I’ll be making this over and over again!!Reply
