Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Slice bananas into pre-baked and cooled pie crust, to cover bottom of dish. Pour pudding mixture over bananas.In a medium glass bowl, using an electric mixer on HIGH, beat egg whites to firm peaks. Add in remaining 6 (Tbsps or packets) of sugar/sweetener and mix well. Spread meringue evenly over hot pudding and outward to cover edges of pie shell. (This will help meringue to form a seal over pie and cook evenly)Place in oven for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely @ room temp. (You can put it in fridge after it's cooled, but the meringue will become gooey and will form liquid condensation.)Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CALEKU.
