My Favorite Dessert I made for Thanksgiving

Goodie2shoes — Sat, 30 Nov 2024 04:59:07 GMT

I made 3 of these pudding desserts one for each of my children to take home ( they ask for it every holiday) and one for our TG dinner. Just thought I would pass the recipe along for those who might want to try it. It's also online of course. This stuff is awesome !! I have to control my eating this b/c of my hx of Diabetes but it's sooo good ! Enjoy

Paula Deen's Not Yo Mamma's Banana Pudding Recipe

1 (12-oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed, or equal amount sweetened whipped cream
1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups milk
1 (5-oz) box instant French vanilla pudding mix
6 to 8 bananas, sliced
2 bags chessmen cookies

Line the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch dish with 1 bag of cookies and layer bananas on top.

In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix and blend well using a handheld electric mixer. Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth. Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended. Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and cover with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

@Goodie2shoes

Thank you so much for this great-sounding recipe!

I am thinking I'd like to take something over to DDs house for our family Christmas dinner!
I’m going to their house Christmas Day and I think they would really like this!

I love the addition of Chessmen cookies. And much faster than my grandma's recipe of standing over the stove stirring sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and half-and-half until it thickens.

Much faster and I think it taste better than the old banana pudding recipe my mom and grandma used to make including cooked jello vanilla pudding and vanilla wafers.

@AuntG When you find the cookies..buy them...I had a hard time finding them the first year and then the next year searched for quite a while before they were back on the shelves.

I made it once and it is fine, but I just really love the old fashioned custard version you bring to a boil over the stove top.

@Goodie2shoes : The last time that I purchased the Nilla Vanilla Wafers to make the traditional banana pudding , the wafers tasted different and didn't like them. Then I purchased a store brand of vanilla water and didn't like them. Haven't made banana pudding in months. Need to try this but a large amount for just 2 people.

@Goodie2shoes : I found the cookies.Only size of cool whip 8 ounce. French vanilla pudding mix in 3.4 ounce . Any suggestions on how to make changes for recipe. Any help appreciated.

@SouthernBee

At this stage, my husband has little desire for food, so I'm not putting much effort into cooking, altho I'm still finding ways to entice him to eat some solid food.

Last week I made him individual servings of banana pudding with instant pudding mixed with cool whip, served over crushed graham crackers mixed with a little melted butter, with a few slices of banana. Super simple, he enjoyed it, and there was no waste.

I used the regular sized Jello Instant French Vanilla pudding which is the only size I have found at the grocery store and I found the same size cool whip from the recipe. I read @ RedTop's suggestion which sounds good if that works for you. Good Luck, sorry I have no other suggestions let me know what worked for you. It's so good so I hope you get to try it !

@Goodie2shoes : I didn't find the French vanilla pudding but the instant vanilla pudding in the needed size. They had sold out of the french vanilla .I purchased the 16 ounce cool whip and will measure out the needed amount but when order delivered they had sold out of the chess man cookies. I will try another store. I really want to try the recipe. Friends will be visiting next week and they love bananas pudding. Thanks.

I made this with strawberries instead of bananas. I used nilla wafers. Everyone loved it. This stuff is so delicious & dangerous. 😄
