In the 1960's my mother used to make the most delicious cold pie she called Hawaiian Pie. It used a prebaked coventional piecrust, and was filled with a layer of bananas and pecans, then a cooked custard filling, then more bananas, pecans and coconut, topped with whipped cream and more coconut.

Found this on the internet. Sound like the one you're looking for?

Line cooled pie shells with a layer of bananas, layer nuts, layer coconut. Cook pineapple, sugar and flour until thickened. Cool. Pour over layers. Chill 3 to 4 hours. When ready to serve cover pie with Cool Whip or Dream Whip.
carolb, that is the one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe you found it so fast! I had looked all over and never found the exact one, but the one you found is the one she made. I am forever in your debt. Shirley, please make this pie, but be aware that it is the best thing you will ever eat and you might want to eat the whole pie by yourself! Delicious!

Hooray Susan!!!!
Just lucky I guess! I saw alot of other recipes too, but they didn't have the nuts in them. And it really sounds good -- I'll have to try that myself too!!!!
I have two recipes:
1st
Frozen Hawaiian Pie
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 12oz container non-dairy whipped topping
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 c chopped walnuts
1/2 c chopped maraschino cherries
2 T fresh lemon juice
2 9" gramham cracker crusts
Additional walnuts and maraschino cherries (garnish)
In a bowl, combine milk and whipped topping. Gently fold in pineapple, nuts, cherries and lemon juice. Pour into the 2 crusts. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
2nd
Hawiaan Cream Cheese Pie
1 9" Graham Cracker Crust
1/2 c Boiling water
1 envelope gelatin
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c pineapple juice
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
whipping cream
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water, stir until completely dissolved. Add sugar and pineapple juice. Cool mixture. Pour into pie shell and refigerate until firmly set. Top with whipping cream before serving. ""
Am thinking you might want to pretoast the nuts for better flavor.

Village Inn has a great Hawaiian Pie and I am looking for the recipe. It had a cream cheese base in pie shell, coconut, pecans and pineapple and the top layer was strawberries, pineapple and coconut.
Did anyone find the Hawaiian strawberry pie recipe that village inn serves?
