Black-Bottom Banana Cream Pie

What a clever idea! A fudgy layer on the crust keeps the crust from getting too soggy... and it provides a fabulous chocolate surprise in every bite.

I made this pie last year for work and everyone loved it. I believe I used instant pudding instead and drizzled a little extra fudge over the bananas. It will taste great as long as you let the fudge and the pudding settle like drphibes said. I'm going to make this one again this weekend :)

For those who got mushy results here are some tips. Let the pudding cool down completely. It will thicken as it cools. I suppose you could use instant pudding mix and it would work just as well. Also cool the pie shell completely, put in the hot fudge layer in and put in the refrigerator to firm up before putting the bananas and pudding. Also if using Reddi-Whip as the topping, wait just before serving so it remains fluffy.

I will not be making this recipe again. The cook and serve pudding is not nearly sweet enough, and the pie was watery. I just didn't think it had much flavor.

I made this pie for Easter. Followed the directions exactly as written (even used whole milk for the pudding, we are a 2% milk drinking family). I don't know what happened. The fudge layer of the pie never firmed up. The whole pie turned to mush. I got the jar of fudge in the section where ice cream is sold. I will not be making this recipe again, unless someone can tell me why this happened.

Fast and easy. Could the whipped cream be sweetened?
