Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 refrigerated pie crust
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup lemon juice, plus
1 teaspoon lemon juice, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 bananas
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup maraschino cherry, well-drained
hot fudge

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place pie crust dough on a pizza baking sheet.
  • Press down firmly and stretch so that the crust laps a touch over the edge will shrink slightly.
  • Bake until slightly golden.
  • Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, by hand, mix milk, 1/4 cup lemon juice and vanilla together in bowl.
  • Chill.
  • Slice bananas and toss in remaining one teaspoon lemon juice so they don't turn brown on the pie.
  • Pour off excess lemon juice and set bananas aside.
  • Spread chilled milk mixture on cooled crust, leaving empty a 1/2 inch space from the edge (to look like a pizza).
  • Decorate the pie with banana slices, pineapple chunks, pecans and cherries.
  • Warm Hot Fudge Sauce and drizzle on top.
  • If you like, you can take a can of whipped cream and create slices.
