- Hey everybody, I'm Bobby Deen.
0:01
Thanks for tuning in.
0:03
I'm standing in for my mom while she recovered
0:05
from an eye surgery that she had up at Duke University
0:08
as all of you know and she's doing real well.
0:11
So, thanks for the well wishes.
0:13
In the meantime,
0:14
I am going to show you some recipes that you've asked for.
0:18
We know what some of your favorites are
0:20
and you'd like to see them maybe lightened up a little bit.
0:22
So, this is a perfect time to do that
0:24
because that's exactly what I do.
0:26
And I hosted a show for a few years
0:29
that was based completely on taking traditional recipes
0:32
and lightening them up.
0:33
And I also wrote a book about that show
0:37
and about those recipes
0:38
and we put a lot of them together.
0:41
And so today, we're gonna make a banana pudding.
0:45
It's something that you all have been asking for
0:46
quite a bit.
0:48
And the one that you really, really like,
0:50
that lots of people like,
0:51
is called not yo mama's banana pudding.
0:54
And oh boy, is it good.
0:56
But let me tell you why.
0:57
It's very good because it's got lots and lots of milk,
1:01
whole milk or two percent milk,
1:04
cream cheese, a ton of sugar and a ton of pudding in it.
1:09
And it just is great.
1:12
And oh my gosh is it heavy.
1:13
Well, I figured out a way to lighten it up.
1:15
This is a little bit different recipe, it's really simple.
1:17
And I think it's a nice take on my mama.
1:20
So what I want you to do
1:21
is I want you to make my mom's natural mama's banana pudding
1:25
and enjoy it.
1:26
And then I want you to make mine
1:27
and sort of compare the two.
1:29
So, let's get started.
1:31
We're going to use some of the same ingredients,
1:32
but we'll use less of them.
1:34
Some we won't use it all
1:36
like the cream cheese we won't use.
1:37
Pudding, we won't use, we'll make our own pudding.
1:39
And so, let's get started, see how it goes.
1:42
We're gonna start over here on the stove top
1:44
with two and a half cups of milk.
1:48
And sort of just a small sauce pan
1:52
and here's my milk
1:54
and quarter cup of sugar,
1:59
and I'm just going to whisk them together a little bit.
2:01
I'll get my high going
2:08
and I'm gonna turn it down to just to low.
2:12
I'm just going to simmer it.
2:13
I don't want to bring this to a boil.
2:15
That's not the point.
2:16
The point is to just simmer it.
2:19
So, I'm gonna warm it really nicely
2:23
and I'm gonna pay attention to it
2:24
while it's over here
2:25
and just make sure that nothing bad happens.
2:30
So while that's warming up,
2:31
let's move back over here to the countertop
2:34
and we are going to whisk together another...
2:38
I'm sorry, I think I said a quarter cup of sugar over there.
2:40
It's a half cup.
2:41
Or no, no, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
2:44
It's a half cup of sugar total
2:46
and I've got it broken into quarters.
2:47
So, that was a quarter of my cup of sugar.
2:49
And this is the other quarter of my cup of sugar.
2:52
I'm gonna combine that
2:57
with cornstarch.
3:02
Cornstarch didn't all come out.
3:06
A little pinch of salt and a couple of eggs.
3:13
Those are all expected ingredients.
3:17
You looking for all these.
3:20
Little bit of salt, eggs,
3:30
two eggs, whisk that together.
3:44
And that's coming together quick and easy.
3:49
This might be a little different than what you'd expect.
3:51
Most people, when you make a banana pudding,
3:52
you don't think well, let me go to the stove top
3:54
and warm something up.
3:57
So what we're gonna to do
3:58
is this banana pudding is sort of in stages.
4:02
We're gonna cook to start with,
4:04
and then we're gonna let cool and then cover and chill.
4:08
And then we're gonna come back and put it all together.
4:14
So we might take a couple of breaks here, but not yet.
4:18
I'm gonna come back over and whisk my milk and sugar here
4:22
and make sure that this does not boil again.
4:24
You just want it to simmer.
4:26
Okay, so this is nice and warm, looks beautiful,
4:30
but it's not boiling.
4:31
That's the important part.
4:33
We did not want to boil it, we just wanted to warm it up.
4:39
So now, we're going to take this warm milk and sugar mixture
4:44
and we're gonna slowly whisk it constantly.
4:50
So, we don't to scramble eggs here.
4:54
Just sort of temporary, right?
4:56
We're gonna constantly whisk
4:58
as we add that hot milk and sugar to our cold mixture here.
5:13
Coming together just nice.
5:26
Got that whisk together real well.
5:40
Okay, here we go.
5:41
I've got my hot and my cold mixed together
5:45
and we're just gonna add everything.
5:47
That's perfectly warm and we're gonna add it
5:49
right back into the sauce pan on the stove top here.
6:00
Thank you, didn't spill a drop.
6:03
And we're going to do the very same thing.
6:04
I'm gonna just turn on into a real low simmer here.
6:17
Well, what's going on here?
6:22
Here we go.
6:23
Okay, I'm just going to turn it on to just low.
6:29
I'm just going to whisk it until it thickens up
6:38
and becomes just right.
6:40
All right, this looks great.
6:42
And it's beginning to thicken and get just about right.
6:46
Why don't we take one more break.
6:47
And when we come back,
6:49
we'll move this over onto the counter top
6:51
and let it cool down.
6:52
Okay, so this is definitely thick and bubbly
6:56
and ready to remove from the stove top.
6:58
So, let's go back over here to the counter.
7:03
That looks beautiful.
7:05
And we're going to add to that
7:06
just a little bit of butter, tablespoon of butter,
7:10
and about a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
7:19
I might be a shade under a teaspoon, but that's all right.
7:24
Yeah, that looks great.
7:25
Mix in the butter and I'm gonna let this sit here
7:27
and go room temperature
7:28
and then we are going to chill it.
7:31
Okay, so we made our banana pudding on the stove top
7:35
and we let it cool in the freezer for a little while.
7:39
And here we are, let's put our banana pudding together.
7:41
So, we've got our pudding we met on the stove top.
7:44
We've got some fresh whipped cream that I just made.
7:47
We've got our bananas here and some Nilla wafers,
7:50
which I love and a banana pudding.
7:53
- [Woman] It's very traditional banana pudding, Bobby.
7:56
- It's very traditional banana pudding, mama, sure is.
7:59
So for our bananas, everybody,
8:02
I've gotten the bananas already cut up here
8:04
and they're in a bowl and bananas will go brown on you.
8:07
Like a lot of other fresh fruits
8:09
when they're just sitting on the counter.
8:10
So, I've sprinkled them with some Fruit Fresh.
8:14
And put a little water on them and start them up.
8:16
And that'll just keep them from turning brown
8:17
and that'll keep them from turning brown too
8:19
while they're in the banana pudding.
8:21
So, that's a product that you might want to use.
8:24
All right, here we go.
8:26
We're gonna to do this in layers.
8:28
This is a great spoon.
8:29
- [Woman] I know, I wanted you to use it, I love that spoon.
8:32
It's one of my favorites.
8:33
- I might not have enough pudding.
8:34
There's going to be a shallow banana pudding
8:37
cause it's in layers
8:39
and the consistency of that pudding is perfect.
8:45
- [Woman] Yeah, it's just soft enough
8:49
that it'll soak up in those cracks.
8:52
- So, anybody who's wondering how mama's doing?
8:56
That's mama.
8:56
- [Woman] Her mouth is still doing fine.
8:58
- Right before we started,
9:00
right before we hit the little button on the camera.
9:03
Mama said alright, now I'm gonna stand up here and be quiet.
9:09
And then she immediately started talking.
9:14
Well, you did.
9:15
You did, but that's okay.
9:18
That's natural for you and my man, Ed, is behind the camera.
9:22
Ed, thank you so much for handling--
9:26
- [Woman] And don't forget your audience members.
9:27
- And don't forget my audience members.
9:29
Thanks everybody for tuning in.
9:30
You're right, mama.
9:32
- [Woman] Eddy, show everybody the audience--
9:35
- Oh, you're talking about my live audience.
9:37
- [Woman] Your live audience.
9:39
- Yeah, I've got one live audience member.
9:42
I've got one live audience member
9:44
and she's sitting right over there having lunch,
9:49
waiting on dessert, I think.
9:53
Doesn't that look nice?
9:54
Okay, so one layer of pudding,
9:59
one layer of Nilla wafers, little more pudding.
10:04
And now we're wondering how we lighten this up.
10:07
And we did that by using a little less sugar
10:13
and rather than heavy whipping cream, we just went wider.
10:19
But golly, I need--
10:24
- [Woman] You'll be fine.
10:25
- It'll be good, But it's going to be thin yet.
10:30
- It's going to be thin by the time you put your--
10:34
- My bananas on there.
10:41
Nilla wafers are going to get just...
10:45
Just right with the pudding.
10:48
And my hands are clean, everybody, just so you know.
10:52
I wash my hands probably more than a surgeon.
10:56
- [Woman] You're so organized,
10:57
I just throw them mine on, Bobby.
11:00
I could borrow some patience from you.
11:04
- Wow, thank you, Aunt Peggy.
11:05
That's a very nice thing to say.
11:08
Thank you very much.
11:11
- [Woman] He might be a perfectionist.
11:13
- Yeah, I might have some things
11:17
that start with O and end in D.
11:20
- [Woman] ACDC.
11:21
- ACDC.
11:21
No, that's not one of them.
11:22
That's not one of the things that I've got.
11:24
I've got a few of their old albums maybe on cassette,
11:27
but I don't personally have ACDC.
11:31
(laughing)
11:35
- You know, I'm definitely a perfectionist
11:38
and I definitely like things really clean and organized
11:41
and you know who hates that, my wife.
11:44
Cause she doesn't have that at all.
11:48
She's got the opposite of that.
11:49
She's like just do it.
11:51
Don't worry so much about it.
11:52
Stop thinking.
11:53
- [Woman] That's right cause it's all
11:54
going in the same place.
11:56
- That's exactly the truth.
11:57
She is more right than me, I can guarantee.
12:01
All right, more pudding.
12:07
- [Woman] Bobby, I think you need the crackers, son.
12:12
She's supposed to end with the pudding.
12:15
- That's true...
12:18
And I kind of just ended with the pudding,
12:20
but you know what?
12:21
I got distracted by some little birdies over here
12:22
talking to me about...
12:24
I know you don't--
12:25
- [Woman] But I do think I resemble that remark.
12:27
- You do resemble it.
12:30
- [Woman] And you know, Bobby, when I make banana pudding,
12:35
if the people are standing around
12:38
that I'm making it for,
12:40
I always ask do you like more bananas or more cookies?
12:46
- Auntie, do you like more bananas or more cookies?
12:50
See, that's my favorite kind of audience member right there.
12:52
That's my favorite kind of guests.
12:54
- [Woman] Well, my preference is more crackers than bananas.
12:59
Cause that pudding--
13:03
- I should have used a smaller dish.
13:06
I should have made a little mini single serving.
13:09
I should have made a personal banana pudding.
13:15
- [Woman] Bobby, this is just like lasagna.
13:20
Put those layers together.
13:24
- Nobody after I finish putting whipped cream on it--
13:25
- [Woman] Every one of those bananas on top of that.
13:28
And then your nice heavy cream to cover them
13:31
and not to keep them from turning brown too, you know?
13:35
- Well, if you want to step in here and help me, you can.
13:38
No, you don't?
13:41
Everybody wants to know how mama is doing
13:43
and she's doing just great.
13:45
She had a little bit of eye surgery up at Duke
13:50
and man, I came in here today.
13:52
Cause we're at mama's house, it's not my house.
13:55
I came in here today and mama has got some pep in her step.
13:59
She was having lunch and her eye was opened up.
14:03
And looking good and feeling good.
14:10
And I'm happy to see that.
14:14
Oh, today is...
14:15
Let me say this.
14:17
Today is my daddy's birthday.
14:19
- [Woman] Is today the 19th?
14:20
- Today is August the 19th.
14:22
As you watch this, it probably won't be August the 19th,
14:26
but today is August the 19th.
14:29
And that is my father, my brother, Jamie and me,
14:32
our daddy, Jimmy.
14:34
Today's his birthday.
14:35
And I spoke to him this morning and that's good.
14:39
And also, also, also my cousin,
14:44
our cousin, Taylor Deen, had her baby yesterday.
14:48
- [Woman] I didn't know she was pregnant, Bobby.
14:50
Wow, well then that's a surprise to you.
14:52
- [Woman] So, you know what?
14:53
That makes Piggy Deen a great grandmother.
14:58
Cause Taylor is her granddaughter.
15:01
Oh, well wonderful.
15:04
- So there's more Deens being born,
15:06
but Taylor's married to a fellow.
15:07
I think that her maiden name is Garrison now.
15:13
Let me rinse my hands off real quick.
15:17
They're living down in Auburn where we're from.
15:19
So, Taylor and her husband had their baby today
15:23
and he's healthy or had had their baby yesterday
15:26
and the baby is healthy and all is well.
15:33
And mama, what do you think?
15:34
Should I put some more Nilla wafers on there or no,
15:36
just whipped cream, just cover it all with whipped cream?
15:38
- [Woman] I think I would just spread that whipped cream
15:40
all over the top.
15:41
- I think so too, I think you're right.
15:43
So, I'm just gonna plop it on this.
15:45
- [Woman] Yeah, like those cookies.
15:48
Soak up that custard.
15:52
Bobby, I have to admit,
15:53
I tasted and stuck a finger in your custard.
15:56
- I don't believe that.
15:58
You cheated on some food
15:59
and tasted it with your fingers right to your mouth, no.
16:05
Who would ever have suspected that?
16:08
- [Woman] And your custard
16:10
tastes so much like your grandmother's.
16:14
And I'm talking about your grandmother hires my mother.
16:18
It tasted so like hers.
16:22
- Well good, I'm sure that that is a compliment.
16:31
Well that's all right.
16:33
We'll just kind of...
16:34
It leaves a little bit to be seen.
16:35
So, that adds to the...
16:39
You can see what's down there
16:40
that you're gonna get when you spoon into it.
16:42
So you can get sort of excited about it in advance
16:45
or maybe I can sort of make it, sorry.
16:51
Sorry about that, I forgot for a second.
16:53
I forgot for a second
16:54
that you were having to try to keep up with me.
16:57
- [Woman] I like mine to look like a pie.
16:58
You know how you have all those pretty peaks on it?
17:01
- Well, we don't have that.
17:05
- [Woman] And there's your clean paper towel
17:07
and wipe your bowl, clean the edges of your bowl with.
17:12
And do I need to go out to the garden
17:14
and get you some fresh mint?
17:17
- [Woman 2] You don't need to go out.
17:23
- My customer?
17:24
My one long customer is going to go out
17:27
and gather some fresh mint.
17:30
- [Woman] We're not going need that mint anyway, are we?
17:34
- She's going to go get it, she's insistent.
17:43
All right, so that looks like about good.
17:48
All right, so we've topped our banana pudding.
17:51
A quarter of it has disappeared.
17:54
Somebody got into it and now--
17:56
- [Woman] You got a rat in the kitchen.
17:58
- I got a rat in the kitchen.
17:59
I'm just told by the rat.
18:01
A rat just told me that I got a rat,
18:04
but the good news is I heard that the banana pudding
18:06
is very good.
18:07
- [Woman] It's wonderful.
18:12
If it had a little writing on it,
18:14
it would be just like mama's.
18:21
Bobby, remember when I used to make banana pudding
18:24
every day for the bag lady and putting it on styrofoam cups.
18:29
Oh, our customers...
18:32
Our customers adore it, that banana pudding.
18:36
- Everybody.
18:40
So, that was a lighter version of banana pudding.
18:43
You will love the recipe.
18:44
I'm sorry, but this is where it comes from.
18:46
So, I gotta plug it.
18:48
This is not my mama's banana pudding
18:51
and this is from my book
18:53
and oh boy, is that a good recipe.
18:56
So, thanks for tuning in.
18:57
And while mama is on the end you will be seeing me.
18:59
So, I'll be back to do some more.
19:00
If you've got some requests or some foods
19:02
that you really like and you want to see lightened up,
19:04
let us know and we'll do them.
19:06
So for now, signing off.
19:09
- [Woman] Bon appetit, y'all.
