What dessert is in this photo? Recipe?
I’m going to definitely try making Cecilia’s Lemon Bars. Like Mark Montgomery, I’d love to know what dessert the photo depicts - thanks for another fantastic recipe!
Kind of looks like banana pudding.
Made one for a former brother-in-law, not realizing anyone else liked it. His girls found it in fridge and ate half of it before he had a chance to even taste it.
Well, I guess I can inhale from the website, but these are too much! This is a great thought. Jane
This is just “Good Ole Homemade” Bananna Pudding. A staple at any dinner-on-the ground event at most Southern .churches
PAULA DEEN’S OLD FASHIONED BANANA PUDDING
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoon cornstarch
3 cup milk
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounce (1/2 stick) butter
3 medium bananas, sliced
1 (12-ounce box) vanilla wafers
Directions:
For the meringue topping, optional:
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar
Mix together sugar and cornstarch and slowly add milk. This should be cooked in the top of a double boiler, but you can cook it over low to medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens–do not leave it unattended. Slightly beat egg yolks and temper with a small amount of the hot custard; stir well. Add egg mixture to custard pot and cook 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla and butter. Let cool. In a 9 by 9-inch oven proof baking dish, alternate pudding, bananas, and wafers, beginning with pudding and ending with pudding. Add topping, if desired.
For the meringue topping, if using:
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar until stiff peaks form, then spread onto top of pudding mixture. Bake until golden brown.

This is the real banana pudding. Some people take a shortcut, using instant pudding, but this one is a winner.
Oh my…I am ready to go home and make some as we speak. Nothing is better than warm banana pudding….
I live in Australia now and the Aussies are always asking what we Yanks eat. This is a great website with good ole American food and easy recipes to share with them. Once I can convert the differnt measurements, temperatures, pan sizes and ingredients, I will be a regular visitor to living2eat.
This is better than the food network’s site! The ingredients are easy to find and the recipes are fabulous! Its my new home page!!
.. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH MEREDITH !!! ..
Benjy; this is the best! Thanks for using my Pretzel Salad recipe. What a great idea. Can’t wait to try some of these recipes. . makes my mouth water.
Great ideas for when I don’t know what to fix for dinner, parties, etc.
What an awesome site, Ben! I can’t wait to come home each night and see what’s new! I’ve tried the Peach Cobbler and love it. I made it with Splenda instead of sugar. It didn’t take the fat off my thighs, but it helped keep my sugar regulated! Thanks so much! Keep it comin’!
Thank you, Wanda.
You will note that Jason’s name is listed on many of these postings. We had a great time traveling together on behalf of Northwood University.
Truth be told, it is because of Jason that I would venture out to actually see parts of the various cities and experience a little local culture.
Hey Ben! I don’t cook at all (this is why I’m always assigned to bring cups and ice to pot lucks — smile), but I’m married to a major food fan. We’re both salivating looking at your site. Terrific recipes and sumptuous photos. I need brunch — NOW!
This site is truly a home for uncurable and proud of it foodies. I love it!
