I have such fun when I make this dish.
0:06
I can't help but laugh every time I make it,
0:09
because it makes me think of my friend, Rachel,
0:12
that lives in Jacksonville.
0:14
Well, one day Rachel had been up to see me
0:16
and she said, "Oh my gosh, Paula."
0:18
She said, "I have the best recipe for banana pudding.
0:22
"It's so different from what we usually do."
0:24
She said, "I've got to send it to you."
0:26
So she was true to her word.
0:28
She sent it to me along with a note saying,
0:31
"Paula, the original name of this recipe
0:35
"was called mama's banana pudding."
0:38
But Rachel said that when she finally got around
0:41
to making it and she tasted it,
0:44
she said, "well, it damn sure
0:46
ain't my mama's banana pudding. (laughs)
0:48
"My mama's banana pudding is not that good."
0:51
So she said, "I've renamed the recipe
0:53
"not yo' mama's banana pudding."
0:55
And I thought that was so funny.
0:57
She went on to tell me that she had ended the day
1:00
with a terrible belly ache
1:02
because she had overserved herself.
1:05
Now, one of the things that makes this banana pudding
1:07
different from your regular Southern banana pudding
1:10
is these wonderful buttery chessmen cookies
1:13
that we're putting in it.
1:14
You know, normally you would use a vanilla wafer.
1:17
Now, if you wanna cut up your bananas
1:19
earlier in the day you can,
1:21
all you have to do is just toss them in a little lemon juice
1:27
and that'll keep them from turning dark on you.
1:29
'Cause brown bananas really are not so appetizing looking.
1:34
This is another real simple recipe y'all.
1:37
with an instant vanilla pudding tri-custard.
1:43
We're gonna add the milk,
1:55
and you can see that that doesn't take long
1:57
for it to start getting thick.
1:59
So we're gonna let that set for a minute
2:01
and it'll thicken on up.
2:03
And over here we're gonna mix together
2:06
a softened cream cheese
2:10
and a sweetened condensed milk.
2:16
This makes anything good.
2:18
And we're gonna take our very same beater,
2:20
we don't even have to wash it
2:22
because eventually it's all gonna wind up together.
2:28
when you get the two ingredients blended
2:30
then you can move it up to high speed
2:32
and really get it creamy.
2:38
You can see how quickly now just while we were blending this
2:40
that our pudding set up.
2:42
So we're just gonna fold these together.
2:50
Great start, oh, that's so good.
2:53
I really love this recipe because no cook, no bake.
2:57
Now this is the only thing
2:59
that I do differently from Rachel.
3:01
She uses a prepared whipped topping
3:04
where I would be using a fresh whipped cream.
3:09
So you can do either one there, whichever you like
3:12
and you don't have to be careful folding this together
3:14
because it's not gonna break on you.
3:17
So we're ready and you'll notice,
3:19
we're not even doing multiple layers on this.
3:28
Let me just spread that out,
3:30
and then we're gonna finish this off
3:32
by just topping it with another layer of cookies.
3:35
Look at the cookies they've got all kinds
3:37
of different symbols on them.
3:39
You see the horses and the crowns.
3:42
Look at that, it's got all the chess pieces.
3:44
All we're gonna do now is throw it in the refrigerator,
3:46
chill it good, and it's ready to eat.
3:54
Now I've got one here that's been in the fridge
4:00
And I think that we're gonna find he's nice and chilled.
4:05
Yeah, see how he sat up.
4:12
Banana pudding is a dessert that is so unpretentious.
4:18
I'm not even gonna bother garnishing this one.
4:21
I'm just gonna dig right in. (laughs)
4:30
I can see how Rachel overserved herself.
4:33
It's a great new twist in old fashioned favorite.
