[@happy2cya70]

For banana pudding I like to use one vanilla and one banana flavored pudding and I use the little rectangle coconut cookies! So good!

[@Colleenc123]

Momma Mel, I found your channel by accident when I was looking for Christmas dessert recipes last year. I made your rolo pretzels and they were a hit! I subscribed and continue to watch every video! Your accent is so comforting (I’m a southern girl) and watching your delicious recipes seriously bring me some much needed stress relief (life is hard). Thank you for sharing with us❤

[@bbrhody831]

Cinnamon honey teddy grahams in the banana pudding!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

YES!!!!

[@janetdwyer1867]

Mel you never disappoint with your recipes.i always write them down. Have a blessed weekend ❤

Happy early Easter, Aunt Mel, Patrick, and family. Hope y'all are doing well. Can't wait to add these delicious desserts to my make list, mostly the banana pudding.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Same to you sweet friend, we've enjoyed these desserts early this year LOL Hope you have a wonderful Easter!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel lol. I thought I recognized them. Thank you, you too.

[@Sammi_May]

Hey hey ❤❤❤❤ thank you so much for joining in sweet friend ❤❤

[@mamahousershome]

Omg that pudding looks amazing. What a great collab. Have a great Easter.🐣

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thank you! 🤗 I can't wait to see what you made, too! Thanks for collabing and Happy Easter!

[@maurinadittenhaffer6140]

Mel I love your twist on banana pudding. I have a church pot lot lunch in early April and your recipe will be on the menu. This looks wonderful.

[@mrs.2olvets717]

These look amazing. The Banana pudding has all may favorite flavors together. They look super for Spring or Summer Thanks for sharing.

[@missmadasia1085]

" This nectar from heaven" 😂😂😂 tipped me right over. Always such a good time with you Mel. I'm sure gonna try one or two of these.

[@bridgetgreene2457]

Oh my Mel, my mouth is totally watering !! Both of these look delicious ! As you said , you could use any type crust or cookie then bananas, 2:03 cheese cake pudding mixed with cool whip, and do a layer of strawberries then a layer of crushed pineapples , layer again with pudding, then a layer of chocolate syrup with cut up cherrie, pudding mixture and top with chopped nuts or walnuts in syrup for a Banana Split style dessert !!!! Sounds great also ! Thank you for sharing these .. coconut is one of my favorites.

[@donnakeeton168]

Sounds so good!

[@stillsinglestephanie]

That nutter butter banana pudding looks amazing, definitely right up my alley with that flavor combination! I always save my cool whip containers, perfect for storing leftovers!

[@littlebug1026]

OMG I LOOOOOOVE BANANA PUDDING. Even better CHESSMAN cookies. Best I ever had in my life AND the pudding was homemade. I remember it was my moms best friend that made it for my grandma's get together after her funeral. Bless her heart. Best ever and what a granny she was. I was her FAVORITE!!!!! And to say I was my GRANDPA'S favorite is an understatement!!! I do digress!!! i love your channel and now i am going to make banana pudding!

[@CindyKinney]

Oh my sweet Mel, you make me giggle way more than you know. My first giggle came when you referred to that can of sweetened condensed milk as "Nectar from Heaven." So I get myself calmed down, and you're slicing bananas and you proceed to tell us that you CANNOT use those little pointed ends of the banana in your banana pudding. I get calmed down again and I see that stringy part of the banana as your slicing and I say to myself, "Oh no, I bet Mel doesn't like those thingies either," because I don't and will not eat them. Sure enough out comes, "And I don't like those little things either, those strings." I LOL. Not only do you have wonderful recipes to share, but you're entertaining. I love ya. Have a great Sunday tomorrow.

[@carolowen9595]

A little lime juice sprinkled on the toasted coconut is really good, too.

[@MaegensKitchen]

Mel these look so good! Enjoyed collabing with you!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thanks and I had a great time, too!

[@squirrelswithpearls]

"Dangerously Delicious" - I'm so using that! And I totally know what you mean!

[@FaithFoodandFamily]

Love the idea of using those cookies for the banana pudding! I bet that’s so yummy! It all looked so good! Happy Easter!

[@johnarosser6400]

I don't even know the last time I made banana pudding, but THIS is one I think I will make for Easter dinner! Especially with peanut butter drizzled on top! Thank you! Happy Easter!

[@brendabowles8828]

Boy that coconut one looks fantastic too can't wait to try them Both❤❤Thanks for the recipes❤❤❤

[@vbroadwater3745]

Wow, Valerie you made some delicious recipes! Great job! Can't wait to try these recipes!😋

[@hollyshomemadehaven]

Both of your desserts look so delicious Mel but I have to say that banana pudding with the nutter butter cookies and chocolate and peanut butter drizzle looks so decadent, definitely one I want to try! Have a blessed weekend! 💕💕

[@ValerieHargett]

Hey sweet friend!🥰 I have got to try that. We love the nutter butters. That's my husband's favorite cookie. I buy the store brand too. Taste just as good to me! Lol. You know what.... I have searched the world over to find that instant coconut cream pudding. I tried walmart, ingles and publix. I have a Kroger about 30 minutes away, so I'll be making a bee line there asap! Lol. I even tried a recipe and tried to convert it using the cook n serve. And it didn't work.🤣 Thank you so very much for joining in on this collab! Love you Girl!🥰❤️

[@janesecaraway3995]

Mmmmm....that nanner puddin looks amazing! Aldi has those peanut butter cookies too now and they are delicious!! ❤😊

[@lulamcrae2851]

Thanks for sharing Mama Mel,I definitely want to do the banana pudding for our Easter dinner.Have a wonderful weekend.❤❤❤

[@marylawman8603]

Oh my goodness, Mel! These both look delicious!! When I visit my sister (not as often as I would like), I usually make a new treat to take to her. I can't wait to try these!! Thank you so much, as always, for the wonderful recipes. Once again, you've made me excited to get in the kitchen and start making these. It's so fun to try something new. Btw I save my Cool whip bowls too. Lol! Have a beautiful and blessed weekend. 💗

[@ksacosta69]

I've made that butter butter banana pudding last year and it was DELICIOUS!

[@brendabowles8828]

I ain't too crazy about banana pudding and i'm definitely gonna try that one

[@gloriasg73]

Looks delicious, can't wait to try the banana pudding recipe!

[@kathystout3544]

I always use French vanilla pudding in my recipe. Instead of sweetened condensed milk, I use some sour cream. We love it and it cuts some of the sweetness as well.

[@TracyJ1978]

I made the nutter butter banana pudding for Easter dessert today, but I added some cream cheese. It was delish!

[@talarakumrow713]

Who doesn’t save their cool whip bowls 🥴😂😉

[@donnakeeton168]

Oh Mel! Both of these look so delicious! I can’t decide which one to make first but I’ll be making both of them!

[@cathyburns750]

Yummy! Your recipes are always delicious, Mel! Thanks for sharing!! God bless and Happy Easter to all!!

[@vickimatthews5976]

Your recipes look yummy 🤤🤤 Can't wait to try my hand at making them. Thank you and please have a Blessed Easter 🐣!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thank you! You too!

[@wilmaasato7225]

These desserts looks so yummy. I have to try the coconut lush. Thank you for sharing the Easter Play List. I know i will enjoy watching all of it. Happy Easter Blessing to you and your Family. 🐰

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

You are so welcome! And my momma just told me that at lunch today my daddy just ate the last of the coconut lush from Sunday. Thanks so much for being here and Happy Easter!

[@breesaves]

😂😂😂 I don't play them games anymore. So funny!! I agree!!

Thanks for sharing these recipes! They look delicious! I love banana pudding! Have a wonderful Easter! 😊

[@debbychapmandavis8778]

Thanks, Mel! I served this to a family group yesterday. It was delicious. I subbed whipped cream for the cool whip & added some strawberries with bananas.

[@bbrhody831]

Both of these look divine! Thanks for sharing!

You are so welcome! Thank YOU for watching!

[@mariannewaszak8253]

Those desserts look amazing. Great video as always : )

[@benakamyar135]

As always love your recipes and enjoy your videos. Thanks for making them for us

[@lorihoezee5353]

I save my cool whip containers too, but you will be surprised what I use them for! I go shelling a lot and put the sand dollars in those containers fresh from the ocean. They work great for tiny or breakable shells as well. I make shell art from the shells, a craft handed down from my mom and grandmother. I love being able to visit the ocean so often! God is so good! Keep filming I enjoy you so much!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Oh I love this! I bet your art is beautiful, I always love collecting seashells when we go to the beach and I display them in bowls or jars, then I remember all the fun we had when I look at them!

[@Pamela_Gram]

Such great recipes. Love both these delicious desserts.

[@evelyndillon2072]

These look absolutely amazing, Thank you so much for sharing. Yes I save the empty cool whip containers as well. Happy Easter💛

[@kymburriss4260]

Momma Mel, for something even more different, try using a chocolate pudding instead of vanilla, bustill use the nutter butter cookies, and the two drizzles. Very different, but also very good .

[@georgeberger5944]

I may make this for Passover.

[@crissytate4933]

Ty for sharing love both pudding recipes going to make nutter butter banana one first love the idea of the cookies God Bless

[@melissamclaughlin4383]

Oooooh looks delicious.thank you Mel.

[@readytogo3186]

I make my banana pudding like you do, except I don't put in sweetened condensed milk and I use a whole tub of Cool Whip----love that stuff! I always just use vanilla wafers. And I always use French Vanilla instant pudding mix. So good. I have a recipe for Eclaire Cake that uses the Graham Crackers. The filling for it uses 2 boxes Jello French Vanilla instant pudding mix and 3 cups milk (use a whole tub of Cool Whip) layered with Graham Crackers. Use a 9 x 11 or 9 x 15 pan. Start with Graham Crackers, layer of pudding, one more layer of graham crackers, one more layer of banana pudding, last layer of graham crackers and refrigerate over night (otherwise it's too soft to add the icing). Next day, top with chocolate icing. Soooo good! PS: Love your channel/recipes! I'm a subscriber.

[@debbychapmandavis8778]

I've made this 3 times. Once I added strawberries & no peanut butter. It is so delicious! Love your channel. I usually watch on tv utube. Thank you!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I love that idea! Thank you so very much for watching and for your very kind comment 😊

[@bettycook9536]

Awesome dish ❤

[@susanoswalt1169]

Mel my favorite cookie is butter and I love me some banana pudding.going to make this tomorrow just have to get the cookies and cool whip.and yes I save my containers also when we have family meals I take them and anyone that wants to take leftovers home has to bring there own containers it's a rule around our family.that Tupperware gets expensive replacing.😂

[@praisingirl]

funny, I have always used the measuring cup to flatten my crumb crust.

[@jenniferwilliams7086]

Ill do nutter butter from now on. I do this except i do banana cream pudding and I do it in layers .

[@kristajones9578]

The Coconut lush looks amazing!

[@susantaulli6580]

Some chopped peanuts as a topping on that first recipe would be good too.

Mama Mel, I love watching you so much, that I clicked on this video even though I hate banana pudding, LOL! I am SO glad I did though, cuz that 2nd dessert with the coconut is right up my alley. I love coconut, cream cheese, & graham crackers. I'm going to make this just as soon as I can get to town for the ingredients. Thank you for that hidden surprise. I love your videos so much. I'm basically a shut-in, so I don't get much social interaction... your videos are like sitting in a good friend's kitchen while they cook. 😊

[@kims1941]

These look absolutely scrumptious, Mel! I'd like to make the banana pudding dessert for a little get together my exercise group is having next Saturday. In order to make it a bit healthier and add some protein, what are your thoughts on substituting vanilla Greek yogurt for the sweetened condensed milk and/or the Cool Whip?

If you forget to thaw your cool whip, put it in the microwave on defrost for 26 seconds, lid on. It will be perfect.
