[@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817]

When making whipped cream, use a stainless-steel bowl. Put the bowl and mixing beater(s), and in the freezer for at least 30 mins. This works for whipping cream because as the cream is whipped, it's the fat globules that bond with one another, trapping air in the process. A chilled bowl, especially metal, helps the fat to firm up and bond together more easily.

[@seaneendelong8065]

Andre, BEST ADVICE HERE. Especially in temperate weather or warmer zones, this will make it possible to have whipped cream happen vs beat forever with meh results.

[@carolynthornton8017]

IN MY VIEW" Since I found this out (years ago) I never whip cream without my bowl/beaters in my freezer first.

[@arcanask]

😯

[@Havasumom]

If you were to get a P.O. Box I’m sure people here in the USA would send you some key ingredients that you can’t get in Portugal, just a thought. I’m loving you cooking dishes from America and enjoying them!

You're doing the modern adaptation of banana pudding. The old fashioned banana pudding was my mom's signature dish for every potluck. The old way didn't involve instant pudding or condensed milk -- it was sweet egg custard poured over layers of banana and vanilla wafers, topped with meringue and lightly browned.

[@bakerinthehouse5346]

I bet your mom's version is amazing!

[@luludee1300]

that sounds amazing! 🤤 I had forgotten how good banana pudding is but had some at a get together earlier this year and boy was it yummy. I went back for seconds and maybe even thirds haha

[@loraawalker3618]

Yes! I was feeling a little confused, remembering my grandma cooking custard and meringue for this. The custard- banana-wafers combo went into the fridge for several hours, then she did the meringue and toasted it under the broiler. This was my brother's favorite dessert when we were little

[@jessicamccard9602]

That is exactly how my mother-in-law does it! It is my husband's favorite dessert.

[@cale4331]

Given your success with each recipe, you're setting the bar really high. Even the few hiccups you've encountered have been relatively minor and didn't prevent you from creating a tasty result. Fun to see enjoy all you've made so far. 😊

[@ejtappan1802]

[@jamesr1894]

That's the reason a friend of mine named his son Ross.

[@tinahairston6383]

Now you need to make the custard from scratch with a meringue and warm from the oven. My family would cringe at the no bake version, lol. Someone needs to send you some proper Nilla Wafers. The classic recipe if on the side of the box. Andre, you never use a hand mixer without both beaters but also you always start on low but having said that, if you're not making a mess in the kitchen, you're playing it safe, lol. Great job!

[@selinahann5595]

It's such a joy watching you try new things. You're doing a great job!

[@trishagg]

Go, André! You amaze me every day! Hooray for you!! The mixer splatter happens to all of us. I am so sorry your country doesn't have vanilla wafers. Excellent presentation of the banana pudding, A!

[@reginafetty6374]

Shortbread cookies will work almost as well as Vanilla Wafers.

[@dianajemison105]

If you hold the mixer so that the beaters are straight up an down, you shouldn't get splatter.

[@yvettelang1961]

Banana Pudding Recipe 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup flour 1teaspoon salt Combine these ingredients in a saucepan Add 3 egg yolks and 1 whole egg and beat until well combined Place pan on stove over low heat and slowly add 2 cups of whole milk. Stir constantly until it starts to thicken and coats the back of your spoon. Take off heat add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mix and let cool. Place some plastic wrap on top of the pudding mixture to keep a film from forming on top. Meanwhile beat your 3 egg whites in a large bowl Add 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar if you have it. Slowly add 1/4 cup of sugar slowly as it starts to look like foam increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. How layer cookies, banans then pudding. Repeat layers and finish off with cookies. Spoon meringue over cookies. Use back of spoon to create peaks in the meringue. Bake at 400 degrees until peaks start turning brown. Keep your eyes on it because it will happen fast. Let cool and refrigerate. I like my cookies to soften up. I hope you enjoy. You will find that this recipe is not very sweet. 😊

[@sherryjoiner396]

That looks like a great recipe. Most call for more sugar, and with the cookies can be too sweet. Thanks!

[@RaeMcCarver]

Yes! Now that’s an authentic banana pudding recipe. It’s probably too much for Andre’ to make though.

[@donttreadonmemes]

"I started speaking sp- Portuguese." You are becoming more American each day Andre. Good job!

[@five3red]

I love that you are enjoying the cooking, I enjoy watching these episodes. A couple of tips for this one: 1. Use a bowl that is bigger than needed. 2. Do not tilt the mixer. Keeping the mixer vertical will prevent splattering (the bigger bowl will help too). We've all had splatter accidents in the kitchen, but we usually had mom or grandma teaching us.

[@lonegrimo6098]

I think a metal bowl works better for whipping cream too

[@pangolinrendangered5683]

I couldn't decide between peach cobbler or pecan pie as a potential next dessert to make. Both are so good when done right!

[@peggystamper1670]

I think the cobbler would be a better beginner choice

[@jw3109]

The traditional banana pudding was made with a homemade cooked custard (not boxed pudding mix), topped with a meringue lightly toasted in the oven. What you made is what most people make nowadays--it is a shortcut version but still tasty.

[@DeborahDavis-zi6pm]

Yes! The pudding was warm out of the oven.

[@valiumtwo]

@@DeborahDavis-zi6pm I've been eating banana pudding since the 1950's. I've never had any cooked in the oven. Have had it with custard cooked on the stovetop. Love it!

If you don't like banana pudding try making with pineapple instead. I sometimes use lemon wafers instead of vanilla wafers also.

Do you have No Bake cookies in Portugal? My family makes "No Bake" cookies every Christmas, so easy and so delicious! In a large bowl put 3/4 cup chunky peanut butter, 6 tablespoons cocoa powder, 3 cups instant oats. In a medium size pot add 1 stick butter, 2 cups white sugar, 1/2 cup milk. Bring to a boil and boil 1 minute. Add in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour liquid over the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Refrigerate. Once cookies are cold you can store in a cookie jar on the counter. DO NOT DOUBLE RECIPE!!! Makes approx. 2 dozen cookies. Enjoy!!!

Haven't made banana pudding in a long time. Use to make the vanilla pudding from scratch with eggs yolks and milk ( and a few other ingredients) cooking it slowly over the stove until it thickened. then added vanilla. Used the egg whites to make meringue and baked it in the oven until the peaks started to brown. The recipe was on the box of Nilla Wafers. I have enjoyed watching these cooking episodes.

[@ThatsaTechnicalFoul]

Wow, André you are playing all the hits! And I just realized your Portuguese milk is a richer color than ours in the US! I’m sure it tastes better. My grandma loves to talk about how milk here used to have real flavor but now it pretty much tastes like nothing. Wish I could try yours!

Someone else suggest Pecan pie - I think that’s a great idea! Pecans are expensive in the US, not sure how much they are in Portugal.

My very southern Aunt (from Florida) made banana pudding for every family reunion. She cooked vanilla custard, then layered it with 'Nilla Wafers and bananas while the custard was still warm. She topped it with meringue, which she browned under the broiler in the oven. She would then chill it for about an hour to "set." Sooooooo good.

[@TrevorJuve]

I've been binging these videos of you making American food, and I think I found a pattern. It seems like the most common American foods follow a pattern: combine two things (macaroni + cheese, chicken + dumplings, biscuits + gravy, grilled cheese + tomato soup) and add cream, cheese, and/or butter. ESPECIALLY butter. And the more you add, the better. Sometimes sugar as well, whether cane sugar or brown sugar depends on the recipe. Not all American foods follow this pattern (this one, for example, does not really combine things, and the chicken fried steak doesn't combine foods per se but cooks one food in the style of another. And deviled eggs? You don't really combine two different foods there, you just mix a bunch of things into egg yolk). And maybe a lot of them have a liquidy component? Cheese, gravy, soup, a lot of them involve a solid and a liquid-like substance. (Again, deviled eggs are the odd one out here). Or maybe I'm reading too much into it because it's 2AM. Also, have you ever had a root beer float? It's not really something that's worth an entire video since it's easy to make and doesn't really involve any cooking. Just put some vanilla ice cream in a cup or glass and pour root beer on top until the glass is full. It's quick, easy, and fun. You get to drink it AND eat it with a spoon!

[@mrs.antihero]

3:00 😅 You need a bigger, deeper bowl- at least twice the capacity as the volume of cream you put in. Not only does the mixer fling bits everywhere, but the cream will expand as you're incorporating air.

[@bluetinsel7099]

Typically Nilla Wafers are used and are the perfect cookie for banana pudding so you’ll have to try them sometime. As for your mixer the Japanese one would have been good and splattered less with both mixers on them. The reason you typically cool it is to get the right texture, but it’s good you enjoyed a traditional recipe.

[@mrsreefc]

I really would have loved to see your reaction to eating the pudding after it sat in the refridgerator for a few hours. That's the magic!

Made a big banana pudding for Thanksgiving

[@johnskelton5683]

Without using cream, one can instead use Greek (thick) banana yogurt with Cool Whip slowly folded together. Put fresh blended bananas with some small pieces that are crushed a bit into the yogurt and Cool Whip mix by folding it slowly into the overall pie filling mix. Buy a gram cracker pie dish from the store and slowly spoon the pie filling mix into the gram cracker pie dish. Refrigerate for a hour without covering it and it's ready to cut and eat. One can always dress-up the top by putting an add-on such as thin sliced banana strips, however, do this just before serving. Other toppings can dress-up and add taste! 😋

[@LythaWausW]

It's nice of you to give these tips but you cannot just go to the store and buy a pie pan like you can in America. Or Cool Whip. I just checked and Amazon does not sell Cool Whip or graham crackers.

No room to make pudding *sigh* BUT... you're inspiring me to figure a way! I know those cookies you used - you can get them in Hispanic stores - or if you're near a Russian/Eastern European store, Alyonka or Alyonuschka biscuits work wonderfully.
