Banana Cream Pie and Chunky Monkey Pie

5.7K

I know I shared my quick and easy banana cream pie just a little bit ago.  Guess what?  Right after I made my pie I saw this similar version over at Our Best Bites.  I had to try it and see if it was as good or better than my version.  The thing that made me wonder how this pie would taste is that you add water and condensed milk  to the instant pudding.  I know, that’s what I said.  So I adapted the recipe slightly from the original.  I asked my family what they thought.  Did they have a preference? 

My husband like both just the same.  My oldest son said he like the filling on this pie.  If I had to choose I would pick this pie.  First I like that it makes 2 pies so I made one regular and one chunky monkey.  Everyone did prefer the original banana over the chunky monkey version.  And for me this pie was more like a true banana cream pie.  The other version I shared is more mousse-like with the filling since it uses pudding folded with cool whip.  So give this version a try.
