Cocunut-Banana Cream Pie with Pineapple image

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.

This pie was a bit too runny for my taste, but it still tasted good. I think I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

I had some trouble getting the crust to come together, but the pie turned out great in the end. I think I just needed to work the butter into the flour more thoroughly.

This is the best coconut cream pie I've ever had! The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the crust is to die for.

I've made this pie several times now, and it always turns out perfect. The filling is creamy and flavorful, and the crust is buttery and flaky. It's a real crowd-pleaser.

This pie was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of coconut, banana, and pineapple was divine, and the crust was flaky and delicious. I highly recommend this recipe.
