Definitely Not Yo’ Mama’s Banana Pudding

I’ve been slighting my other half. He says I always make desserts appealing mainly to me. (Personally, I don’t see much of a problem with that. After all, I *am* the one making the dessert.) ;)

So this past weekend, I thought I’d surprise him with a dessert completely geared towards him: Banana Pudding. Since I’ve never made a banana pudding in my entire life, I had to search for a recipe.

Most seemed ho-hum… the one exception being this recipe by cooking queen Paula Dean. With a name like “Not Yo Mama’s Banana Pudding”, much is expected… and the recipe certainly does not disappoint:

What I loved about this recipe:

• Easy and quick for everyday desserts – could easily be made into smaller portioned out ramekins
• The lightness added by the COOL WHIP to the condensed milk and cream cheese mixture

What I disliked about this recipe:

• The amount it makes – next time, I would definitely halve the recipe. It’s just a lot for a family of two and a midget. Banana pudding, anyone?

I’m wondering if I can freeze banana pudding. (Anyone know the answer to that?) Would be nice for a quick treat later in the week.

And if you make this recipe, I dare you to tell me it is not one of the best banana puddings you have ever tasted! Really!
