Directions
Cream Pie (Chocolate, Coconut, and Banana Variations),Hands down, the BEST cream pie recipe I’ve ever tasted! It was passed down from my mom, who got it from a neighbour while living briefly in Los Angeles way back in 1969. The chocolate variation has been the universal birthday ‘cake’ in my family for almost as long as I can remember. I’ve adapted it to be more microwave friendly and even less time-consuming than the original. (Cooking time is cooling time) In case you don’t have a microwave or just want to try this on the stovetop, see my cousin CrystalB’s Recipe#108268 for the method.,Delicious! Used full bag of choc chips, as others suggested – set really well. Creamy. Used regular flour & regular white sugar. It took practice to not overlook it. The first banana cream pie was not as smooth b/c I cooked it till nearly all solid – that was too long. The next one with the choc chips was cooked until some of it was lumpy when stirred, not all of it, and that was the fantastic one! (I think the comments about pies not setting occurred to folks not cooking long enough.$,So easy, so delicious, so fast. I’ll never use another recipe!
