Banana Pudding
April 20th, 2010
As I’ve mentioned time and time again, I’m a chocolate person and rarely do I even give a second thought to any sort of dessert in which it’s lacking. Lately though, I’ve noticed a shift. I picked gummy bears instead of my usual Junior Mints at the movie theater last week. I decided that caramels with sea salt would be better left undipped in a chocolate sauce. And now here I am incorporating fruit into a dessert.
I manage to stop by Magnolia’s every time I’m in New York. It’s not necessarily because they have the best cupcakes, but with the little lace window coverings and sweet smells wafting out into the street, it feels like you’re in your grandma’s kitchen. Though I had never tried the banana pudding, the reviews were always exuberantly positive and yesterday was just hot enough that I craved something cold and creamy. If you’re willing to wait several hours for the pudding to set, that was the most challenging part. Though the recipe (here) is adamant about not substituting anything for Nilla wafers, I took the liberty in substituting the mini versions I spotted at the store.
I love banana flavored desserts! I’ve been wanting to try this Frothy Coca-Cola and Banana Cake, but haven’t had the chance…

I’m a southern girl, so banana pudding is like a food group. As much as I’m addicted to chocolate in all its delicious forms, I’d pick banana pudding every time. Yum!!
I am all about creamy desserts, so this looks like heaven to me!
My mouth is watering looking at this; something about nilla wafers makes me very nostalgic for my Texas youth…

mmm, looks yummy
When I was 15 we went on a family trip to San Diego so I could go to surf camp for a week. While there I had banana pudding for the first and only time in my life. It was amazing and I still fantasize about that amazing pudding. I can’t remember when it was that we had it but one day I would love to track it down.
OMG…this looks amazing!!! The only thing I might add is Nutella. Everything’s better with nutella!
