Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding - Quarantine Cooking

[@makeminefreedom]

When I was alone an elderly woman who was half blind asked me if I liked banana pudding. I told her yes and next when she saw me she smiled and said this is for you. She had given me a large Pyrex bowl full of banana pudding. Then after that every once in a while she would say this is for you. Then one day she moved to a nursing home in another state and I never saw her again. She always talked about God and salvation. I will never forget her. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

[@quenquen200726]

This is what I do! I actually thought everyone did this cause I grew up with my mom doing it like this as well as others.

[@toddbooth-smith5474]

That's a great idea. We were all talking about a substitute cookie Mrs. Evelyn and crushing the cookies you have left and topping the dish would be a really great idea. As a matter of fact, I think it would possibly be better than whole cookies on the top, they would absorb more of the pudding, maybe. I will admit though, the Chess cookies look so pretty on top in whole form. Mrs. Paula used Pepperidge Farm in her video but you could substitute with Lorna Doone or Walkers. Now, I've never heard of Walkers so I'm not sure if you can buy those in the grocery store or do you have to purchase online in a specialty shop. Here we can buy both Pepperidge Farm and Lorna Doone at the grocery store. I was thinking that the Pepperidge Farm Chess cookies looked really big but it stands to reason that when refrigerated for several hours, they get to a cake consistency, which sounds really good. That banana pudding and a cold glass of whole milk (not that 2% stuff) would be incredible. I mean, you are eating a rich decadent dessert, why not treat yourself to a glass of whole milk. OK, everyone enjoy, I love Mrs. Paula.

Mrs. Paula, would you do me a favor and everyone else out here and show us how to make homemade chicken and dumplings. You have taught me so much already and my mom made chicken and dumplings every once in a while and my mom passed away. I don't know where her recipe books went but I can't find any of them and I don't think this would have been on a recipe card anyway because she cooked all the time without a recipe. Your help would be greatly appreciated and know that you are loved by so many of us that watch your youtube videos. I find myself waiting on the next one in great anticipation. Thank you very much for teaching me how to cook. I have enjoyed every video and I'm learning so much. You will never know how much of a blessing you are to so many. I'm thankful that I get to watch as you prepare new dishes while teaching all of us at the same time. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. You truly are one special lady.

OMG YES! My GRandma made her own homemade chicken and dumplings too and they were my absolute favorite! Unfortuantely, she lost her battle with colon cancer on July 26, 2012- 8 years coming up and haven't had her delicious cooking since. I also miss just talking to her, visiting her and spending time with her. She always knew what to say to make me feel better, and even make me laugh. She taught me how to make her yellow rice and chicken/pork and her chicken and dumplings too, but im not sure i rememeber all of the stuff used for her chicken and dumplings lol So, Paula's recipe I think would probably be pretty close to my GRandma's cause both are southern gals and cook very similarly and both prefer homemade over store bought.

You know what else would be really good if you would substitute the ginger snaps for lemon flavored Oreo cookies and then instead of the bananas used fresh blueberries that have been rinsed and dried really good then you would have your lemon pudding that you can layer in with all that I think that would be a really great twist and to Jazz it up make it a completely different taste for lemon lover's!

This is very rich and delish, my aunt makes this but I’ve only had it a couple times. If I wasn’t isolating alone, I’d make it lol.

That sounds really good, the coconut creme pudding instead of the french vanilla pudding mix. It sounds as though it would add more depth of flavor, if that makes sense. I'm going to make it the way Mrs. Paula made her's but I'm going to use Lorna Doone cookies instead of those Pepperidge Farm Chess Cookies (those cookies are expensive). I think you may get away with using just one bag of Lorna Doone. I'll have to see on that part. To tell you the truth, if it wasn't a dish by Mrs. Paula Deen, I wouldn't even consider going to the grocery store with the virus situation. It is terrible in North Carolina.

I made this today, and it is THE BEST banana pudding I've ever had!! I forgot to put the sugar in the whipped cream, but it was plenty sweet. This is my new go to desert. It is unbelievable. Thank you Paula!!❤

[@carasmith5840]

Paula you are just what I needed right now. LOVE that you are doing this cooking in quaretine. Corn pudding is on the menu tonight. Long time fan.

Oh yes those chesman cookies are ....good any preppridge farms product is good

[@MizGator]

I started making this recipe 4 years ago. It's a hit! I have an uncle that's 85 and he was the person that used to always make the banana pudding for family functions, I took his spot 4 years ago with this recipe. I use half the sweetened condensed milk, sometimes only a 1/3 b/c it's so freaking sweet, Lorna Doone and Chessman Cookies. I also made it recently with oatmeal (no raisin) cookies! Whew, so good!!!

[@Traveljunkie01]

I agree with using half can condensed milk. My first attempt making it was so sweet. The cookies are sweet too.

[@kaylasantacruz3505]

I've made this twice now in the last month since having watched this video, it is soooo deliciously amazing!!! My whole family just devours it! Thank you Paula! 😊

[@margiemasih982]

When I worked at well known grocery store we made this stuff called cherry delight ...we used whip cream,condensed milk,and cherry pie filling and cream cheese.it was very good

[@lisahinton9682]

Margie, do you have the recipe for Cherry Delight, by chance? My mom used to make this for us in the 1970s, but I don't have her recipe and she's gone now.

[@kayla.breaux]

My aunt always made this. She added pecans, coconut, and pineapple.

[@margiemasih982]

Yes I will write down receipe.my mother made this also

[@margiemasih982]

Another good place for good recipes besides Paula,...old church receipe books.in those are good ones also

[@margiemasih982]

You can always look on internet for recipes...but we made it at grocery store with..we called it cherry fluff.we didn't add pineapple but you can. 1-14oz can condensed milk 1-21oz pie filling...anykind 1-8oz whip cream..whipped or cool whip. Mix all together....refrig 2hours or longer before serving..... The other u use graham cracker crust....just look up cherry delight...it will come up.

[@afdraftsrmandy3176]

Paula, we had corn casserole on dad's birthday on Friday and we all loved it! Adding that recipe to my box!

[@HD-mg9ru]

I've been making this recipe for years!!!! I got it from one of your magazine's that I still have. Cheeseman cookies are delicious with it... I made it for one of my son's friend's birthday as a gift to him. His friend loves it so much that he didn't even want his birthday cake cause he was full. Boy was his mama mad at me!

[@bc90851]

I just made this and its AMAZINGG!!! Highly recommend and it’s so easy😌 I accidentally bought a 3.4 oz of pudding and I just did 1 cup of milk instead. Still came out great. Also my family always used the vanilla wafers but I promise you the short bread cookies taste wayyy better.

[@IndigoRoses7]

I recommend making banana pudding in a plastic container. For some reason everytime I use a metal container the bananas brown much quicker.

[@trevoriayerby5052]

I use both vanilla pudding mix and banana cream. It's so good using both..

[@Alicia652]

I love this recipe for banana pudding. My aunt introduced it to our family many years ago. It was fun watching you make this right after I had watched Bobby’s video of a lighter version, because he was so precise about placing the cookies and bananas in an orderly manner and you just put them in the dish kind of every which way. LOL. Love watching both of you in the kitchen!

[@nataliesticesen4955]

I am so happy to see you back! Whenever I am in Savannah I always go to your restaurant for some butter beans! Can you show us how to make them? Nothing better than butter beans and a side of cornbread or biscuits! Thank you for getting us through these stressful days with your laugh and great recipes!

[@1948eggyp]

YEPPER!!!!!

[@warriorofgod1538]

I remember the first time I had this, it was at my sisters house on a special occasion. I thought the recipe was a secret and came from her husbands grandma, because they called her husbands late grandma...Big Mama. So, when I called my sister I was like, I know it’s a secret recipe but you think you can ask her if I can have it. I remember my sister laughing and saying it’s not a secret, Paula dean has this recipe out. Didn’t know where it came from til now. It’s nice to hear that it was one of your friends cause I think many people wouldn’t have been so honest and would’ve taken credit for such a great recipe. Please thank your friend from us all because this dessert 🍮 is a big hit... so delicious. My kids love it so much, I’m doubling the recipe as we speak. God Bless and much love ❤️

[@margokruger2067]

Hi, I am from South Africa, and made "Not your Mama's Banana Pudding" today. The recipe made 3 medium puddings, and I gave one pie to two of my friend and kept one for us. Without a doubt, the best pudding we all have ever tasted, it is delicious. Will be making it again!!
