hey y'all welcome to what's cooking with
0:02
Paula Deen today and today's podcast is
0:05
all about more tips to help you along in
0:08
the kitchen you know I think I want to
0:11
start today by talking about a no cooked
0:13
banana food and I don't care if I'm in
0:16
California or I'm in Kentucky
0:19
somebody is gonna say Paula
0:24
I'll use your recipe all the time for
0:27
your banana pudding and I'll say not
0:30
your mama's banana pudding and they'll
0:32
say yeah yeah that's it yet I promise
0:35
you y'all this is a best cook no cook
0:38
banana pudding you'll ever taste now
0:41
there's nothing that can beat the
0:43
traditional banana pudding that my mama
0:45
used to have waiting on the counter for
0:47
bobbing me when we get home from school
0:49
in the afternoons nothing can compare to
0:52
but this nacho Mama's is pretty dadgum
0:56
good and we're gonna start with two cups
0:58
of whipping cream and a half a cup of
1:02
confectionery sugar and we're gonna mix
1:05
and beat it until it's light and fluffy
1:09
you'll want to be very very careful now
1:12
when your whipping cream if you over
1:15
whip it it's gonna turn back to butter
1:17
and that's the last thing you want to
1:20
happen to that wonderful whipped creams
1:24
and I'm gonna start out by using a bowl
1:28
that's been in the freezer I've gotten
1:30
it nice and cold and I'm gonna pour two
1:34
cups of whipping cream into my nice cold
1:38
bowl and you can also throw your beaters
1:41
in the freezer and get them nice and
1:44
cold and it will assure you a better
1:48
now I'm gonna sweeten our whipped cream
1:50
with powdered sugar I use a quarter of a
1:54
cup of sugar for each cup of whipping
1:57
cream and that makes it nice and sweet
2:03
this is perfectly whipped-cream yo you
2:11
can run your finger through it and the
2:13
little indention that you made stays mmm
2:18
so good so fresh all right
2:22
you'll want to beat it until it forms
2:25
soft peaks but don't over beat it in
2:29
another bowl you're gonna mix eight
2:33
ounces of cream cheese that you've had
2:37
come to room temperature on your counter
2:39
now that's important that you don't wait
2:42
until it's time to start the dish to
2:45
take your cream cheese and your butter
2:49
or whatever you use and make sure you
2:52
have it out on the counter to get to
2:54
room temperature so we're gonna mix our
2:57
8 ounce package of cream cheese along
3:00
with the 14 ounce of sweetened condensed
3:03
milk now don't confuse that with a
3:05
vibrating milk your sweetened condensed
3:09
milk is the one that's real white and
3:11
real real thick and where your
3:15
evaporated milk pours kind of like a
3:18
half-and-half does so this is a real
3:21
thick gooey delicious sweetened
3:25
condensed milk now I have let my cream
3:30
cheese get to room temperature now I'm
3:35
gonna beat it just a couple of seconds
3:44
just so it'll be easy to incorporate
3:47
people tell me that they take it to
3:50
family reunions and they never get to
3:54
bring a bite home step in here and get
4:00
me a little spatula because now I'm
4:04
gonna add one can of sweetened condensed
4:09
and this stuff by itself is just
4:15
marvelous it's delicious
4:18
all right so we'll incorporate those two
4:25
ingredients the space that you live in
4:31
really affects the way you feel so my
4:34
first recommendation is start by

5:14
one eight hundred six five nine 3300
5:19
that's one eight hundred sixty-five nine
5:21
thirty three hundred so we got two bowls
5:27
right now we've got our bowl of whipping
5:30
cream we've got our bowl of cream cheese
5:31
and condensed milk now in a third Bowl
5:35
we're gonna add one five ounce package
5:39
of instant vanilla pudding to two cups
5:43
of milk and I recommend that you use a
5:47
whisk to break that up and incorporate
5:51
that powder in with your milk so you mix
5:55
that until it's smooth and then you're
5:58
gonna go back to your whipping cream
5:59
that you made at the start of your
6:02
recipe and you're gonna fold that
6:05
whipping cream into your custard mix now
6:09
I'm gonna add one five and a half ounce
6:12
box of instant pudding rocks
6:16
and I'm gonna slowly add in our two cups
6:19
of regular milk see how simple so all
6:27
I'm gonna do now is fold it together
6:30
with our fresh whipped cream all right
6:34
so I'm just gonna mix that together oh
6:39
look look how beautiful that is the
6:45
serving dish that you decide to serve in
6:48
instead of using banana in instead of
6:52
using vanilla wafers we're gonna use a
6:56
chess man's cookie and chess man is a
7:00
wonderful little cookie that is packaged
7:05
and produce my pepperidge farm and they
7:09
come in the little sacs in your cookie
7:14
now I also use homemade shortbread
7:18
cookies if I've made shortbread cookies
7:21
and I've got some left over they are
7:24
wonderful to use in the banana pudding
7:28
so I I love to homemade cookies myself I
7:34
love using a cookie kind of like the old
7:39
Sandy's that you used to buy my mama
7:41
used to buy these in a sack and I think
7:44
they would call Sandy's and it's a
7:46
shortbread cookie with pecans in it and
7:50
yeah pecan Sandies I think filled just
7:54
said it was cold that was my favorite
7:56
bag of cookies at mama bought cause for
7:59
some reason my mother didn't make a lot
8:02
of cookies she would make cupcakes and
8:04
cakes and pies but not a lot of cookies
8:09
so we're gonna select our dish and we're
8:13
gonna put a row of chessmen cookies down
8:16
and then we're gonna cover this with our
8:19
mixture of whipped cream the cream
8:22
cheese and the instant vanilla pudding
8:25
we've got that all mixed together now so
8:29
gonna cover our cookies with a layer of
8:31
that and then a layer of sliced bananas
8:36
and you want to just keep repeating
8:38
these until your final layer is cookies
8:44
whether it be chess men or a homemade
8:48
cookie that you've made yourself all
8:51
right now we're not going to use the
8:54
little wafers that you ordinarily think
8:57
of using I'm using a chess man just me
9:02
and chess man cookie and I'm gonna start
9:05
by putting a row on the bottom and I'm
9:15
gonna put some custard on top of that in
9:20
that first row of chess me and cookies
9:23
will make kind of like a little crust
9:26
for us and I'm just gonna keep layering
9:32
this until we run out of all the
9:35
ingredients now if you don't put this
9:41
you know if you've sliced your bananas
9:44
and done everything ahead of time I
9:47
would highly recommend that you toss
9:52
them in a little lemon juice and that'll
9:55
keep them from turning dark on you
9:58
because if I had been on my game I would
10:02
have already sliced these bananas and
10:05
had them already and in that case you
10:10
definitely want to use the lemon juice
10:14
because this and apples are the two
10:19
fruits that will turn brown on you
10:21
rather quickly and you know different
10:25
people have different preferences so by
10:29
all means do it the way you like it a
10:31
lot of people like a lot of custard a
10:34
lot of people like a lot of cookies so
10:37
you know suit yourself with that all
10:41
right now I'm gonna come in here and put
10:42
another layer of the chessmen down okay
10:49
here we go another layer of the custard
10:59
hmm that custard looks like kind of semi
11:04
melted ice cream doesn't it just looks
11:21
here we go the last layer of the custard
11:39
this looks like I'm making it bumpy go
11:42
crowd it looks like it'll feed a crowd
11:48
but I promise you will eat all this what
11:51
we bud say I'm waiting mama I'm waiting
11:56
I highly recommend the homemade cook you
12:03
say I make it so good and so extra
12:05
special you know no cooking alright
12:08
you're gonna mess up three or four bowls
12:11
that's alright cuz it's gonna be so
12:16

12:19
bowls the space that you live in really
