    1. OMG! This pie is amazing. My husband loves banana cream pie so I had to try out this recipe. We both loved it. I will definitely make this again!

    2. Hi! I realized too late that I don’t have golden monkfruit. Can I sub regular monkfruit or would it totally change the taste/texture of the crust?
