Banana Cream & Peanut Butter Mousse Pie image

My pie is special because it is ultra creamy and has three foods I desire most-peanut butter, banana and milk chocolate. I opted to make my own pie filling from scratch as it takes very little time and the result is definitely worth it. The peanut butter mousse is light and has velvety smooth texture. It is a melt-in-your mouth dessert and my husband gave it a 5-star rating.-Barbara Estabrook, Rhinelander, Wisconsin

This pie was a total disaster. The crust was burnt and the filling was curdled. I don't recommend this recipe.

The peanut butter mousse was a little grainy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I loved this pie. The cream cheese and bananas balance out the peanut butter flavor perfectly.
