If you've never made this delicious Paula Deen Banana Pudding Recipe before you have GOT to try this out. The best pudding ever and SO easy!
Paula Deen's “Not Your Momma's” Banana Pudding Recipe – SO GOOD!
One of our FAVORITE recipes at our home is Paula Deen's crazy good Banana Pudding recipe. Hopefully you have a few of the items in your pantry (or if you're like me you can pick up the store brand version of all of these items ~ I used Publix brand cream cheese, cool whip & vanilla wafers and it tasted simply amazing!)
A change that I usually make to the original recipe is to use vanilla wafers instead of Chessman cookies. Apparently Paula Deen is not the penny-pincher that I am, as Pepperidge Farm Chessman cookies are a weeeee bit on the pricy side. I decided Paula might just be proud that I picked up those store brand cookies instead. 😉
However, I made this Paula Deen Banana Pudding recipe a few weeks ago, and this time I went all out and bought the Pepperidge Farm Chessman Cookies….
Oh. my. word.
Wow – SO yummy!
Now, my hubby loves his traditional vanilla wafers better (he likes that they get a little soggy underneath the pudding.) But I'm telling you what, those buttery little Chessman were just fine by me, and I liked that they didn't turn soggy so soon. 😉
