NOT YO' MAMA'S BANANA PUDDING...GONNA WANT SECONDS!

I miss Paula Deen!!!!

Yes, I do....

I loved Paula's cooking show when she first began

on Food Network....

My boys love Banana Pudding....

there are two recipes I always use....

the warm version on the Nilla Wafer box....

and 

Miss Paula's cold version....

I warn you that you just may start talking with 

a slight southern accent once you taste this.......

NOT YO' MAMA'S BANANA PUDDING

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, toss with lemon juice to keep fresh

2 bags chessmen cookies

Allow cream cheese to soften to room temperature

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.

 Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture

 and stir until well blended. 

 Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture.

Line the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch dish 

with 1 bag of cookies and layer bananas on top.

Pour the pudding mixture over the cookies and bananas and 

cover with the remaining cookies.

 Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serving size? One cookie or two?

It's a winner...perfect for a weekend delight!

We LOVE you Paula!!!!
