Fantastic contest DrCrush!!! My stomach is growling! Is there anyway you could make this contest where the Crushers actually send us their prepared recipes for us to judge? lol
I am very impressed and now thanks to this contest, very hungry. lol
Way to go DrCrush and Crushers, keep those recipes coming! And way to go Geno, I usually prefer milk with my pies, but I think I could change. lmao
Heat oven to 300°F. Reserve 1/4 cup coconut; set aside.
Combine remaining coconut and butter in medium bowl; press onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt in 2-quart saucepan; stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a full boil (7 to 8 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir small amount of milk mixture into egg yolks; return to pan. Reduce heat to low. Continue cooking until slightly thickened (1 to 2 minutes). (DO NOT BOIL.) Stir in vanilla. Pour half of hot filling into baked crust; cover with banana slices. Top with remaining filling.
Increase oven temperature . Beat egg whites in small bowl at high speed until foamy (1 to 2 minutes). Continue beating, gradually adding 6 tablespoons sugar, until glossy and stiff peaks form (1 to 2 minutes). Spread onto warm filling, sealing to edge of crust. Sprinkle with reserved coconut.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 30 minutes at room temperature. Refrigerate at least 3 hours. Store refrigerated.
In large saucepan, combine condensed milk, water and pudding mix; mix well. Add chocolate. Over medium heat, cook and stir rapidly until chocolate melts and mixture thickens. Remove from heat; beat until smooth.
Cool. Chill thoroughly; stir. Fold in whipped cream.
Pour into prepared pastry shell. Chill 4 hours or until set.

Hi Crushers, as many of you know we have been kind of short handed lately and I would like to personally thank DrCrush and Geno for their contests and all their hard work in the forum and I would like to thank all of you Crushers for taking it easy on them hehee.
When I got back from my venture lol I noticed that I had some reserve money in my contest account so if you guys and DrCrush don't mind lets make this contest 2 x $30 prizes instead of a 1 x $30 prize. (its either this or we will probably end up having several Easy as 1, 2, 3 contests this month lmao)
Good Luck Crushers, your chances of winning has just doubled!

ROYAL KEY LIME PIE
It takes all day to make this pie to perfection -- and is worth every second of work.
Absolutely everything about it is made from scratch. No modern conveniences here.
First thing you do is write a request for a dozen key limes (they are very small) and address the envelope to ANY GROCERY STORE MANAGER IN KEY WEST, FLORIDA.
Also request the recipe from them for the Key Lime Pie. I have never been disappointed in what I received back pretty quickly.
You even make the crust from scratch and the water you add to the flour has to be at the exact temperature called for.
Simply follow to the letter the recipe, and then make an egg maranguetoadd to the top of the pie.
I guarentee that the greatest lemon marangue pie lovers will never again be satified by it. They will HAVE TO HAVE Key Lime Pie instead. The taste is similar, but sooooooooo much better!
Hope a bunch of you try it.
royalblush, requesting directions to your house ifyou make one!
mmmmmm, now heres a contest we can really sink our teeth into lol. There are so many that my husband makes, but I'll give you one of my favorites
Coffee Cream Pie
8oz Sugar
2qt Milk
4tbsp Insatant coffee powder
-in a heavy sauce pan, dissolve the sugar and coffee powder in the milk and bring just to a boil
8 Egg yolks
4 Whole eggs
5oz Cornstarch
8oz Sugar
-with a whip, beat the egg yolks and whole eggs in a mixxing bowl
-sift the starch and sugar in to the eggs, beating until perfectly smooth
-temper the egg mixture by by slowly beating in the hot milk in a thin stream
-return to heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly
4oz Butter
1oz Vanilla
-when mixture comes to a boil and thickens, remove from heat
-still in butter and vanilla until the butter is melted and completly blended in
-pour into pre made pie shells (my favorites for this pie are the Gram Cracker, or Oreo Cookie pie shells) and dust with sugar and cover with wax paper (this prevents a crust from forming on the top of the cream filling) and chill as quickly as possible
