I came up with this base off of a recipe I found on Myrecipes.com. I was wanting a REALLY tropical tasting pie. This is what I ended up with. It's the best of both worlds. I served it at a family gathering and those who prefer coconut cream pie to banana cream pie really enjoyed the combination.

Tips:

- To achieve a smooth and creamy filling, ensure all the ingredients, especially the cream cheese and butter, are at room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend seamlessly and without lumps. - For a flawless crust, pre-bake it before filling. This helps to prevent a soggy bottom and ensures that the crust remains crispy and flaky. - Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense filling. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined. - For a tropical twist, use fresh pineapple and bananas. The natural sweetness and tanginess of these fruits perfectly complement the creamy filling. - To add a crunchy texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, on top of the pie before baking. This adds a delightful contrast to the creamy filling.
