Rachel’s Christmas Banana Pudding!

Hello my dear friends!

It’s almost the end of the year and I’m ending it with a blog post of the best new version of an old standard: Banana Pudding.

However, this time, the recipe is not mine, it’s one Dotter threw together for our family gathering this past Saturday, and it was an absolute HIT with everyone!

As far as standard banana pudding, goes, I am sort of “meh” about it, but this one looked different, and it WAS, in a delightful way.

So, here’s the recipe, and please let me know if you make it and how your gang liked it. As I said, our gang loves it, so give it a try. I think you’ll be glad you did.

    With the fading of last Louisiana wild yellow iris comes the budding of the brilliant pink of the Mimosa blooms and the beginning of the May brown shrimp season. Last Sunday night, dozens of small inland skimmer boats idled past the house, chug-chugging slowly down the bayou, creating as little wake as possible in patient procession to the three-mile inland waters where they would anchor for the night, and sleep until the official opening Monday morning at six.

  1. That pudding looks like something that demands a spoon! Interesting that it doesn’t use vanilla wafers, but other sorts of cookies. I’d never make it for myself, but if I have need of a dessert for a group, I’ll sure enough give it a try.

    Happy New Year!

    1. Linda, my friend, I can highly recommend this one as a crowd pleaser!!! Just find the cheapest of those cookies you can find!
