This Old Fashioned Banana Pudding From Scratch was surely one thing that our grandmothers and great-grandmothers made from “scratch” without even knowing it!

We have become so accustomed to convenience foods and stuff out of a box that a lot of us don’t make anything from “scratch” anymore.

Well, it hasn’t been but a couple of generations ago that the word “scratch” didn’t exist in cooking terminology. Everything was from scratch.

Get back to your roots a bit and give this recipe a try. Maybe you won’t want to continue doing it from scratch from now on. But you will enjoy the great old-time taste.

And who knows, maybe you will continue it from now on!!!

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Keyword: Old Fashioned Banana Pudding From Scratch

Servings: 6

Calories: 395 kcal

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 dash salt
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups sliced ripe bananas
• 45 vanilla wafers
• 4 egg whites
• 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions

1. Mix flour and salt in a large sauce pan.

2. Add milks and egg yolks to pan slowly, stirring constantly over medium heat, until mixture thickens, about 7-8 minutes, then remove from heat.

3. Stir in vanilla.

4. Layer enough banana slices to cover the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Cover the bananas with 1/3 of the pudding mixture, and layer with 1/3 of the vanilla wafers.

5. Repeat layering, starting with bananas, then using pudding, then vanilla wafers.

6. Do the layering a third time as usual, except do not cover the pudding with wafers; place the wafers around the edges of the casserole, tucked into the pudding.

7. Beat the egg whites at high speed with a mixer until they foam. Add the sugar gradually, and keep beating until stiff peaks form. Spread this over the top of the pudding, forming a seal to the edges.

8. Bake pudding at 325F for 25 minutes or until the meringue becomes light golden.

9. Allow the pudding to cool 30 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!

Tips and Tidbits About Slow Cooker Peach Dump Cake

Be careful pouring the butter over the cake mix so there are no dry areas.

Try adding some chopped nuts for texture variation and more flavor. I like pecans.

Switch the concept up any way you want. Try apple filling and a yellow cake mix.

If consuming sugar is a problem for you use a no-sugar filling and a sugar-free cake mix. The taste is fantastic.

Enjoy!

Tips and Tidbits

Definitely use Granny Smith apples, as they are so nice and tart.

These aren’t very sweet. You might want to add 1/8 cup brown sugar to the cream cheese mix. It adds a tad more sweetness for those with a sweet tooth.

Delicious cake that just happens to also be gluten free. 

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Keyword: flourless chocolate cake

Servings: 6

Calories: 360 kcal

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 18 1 ounce squares bittersweet chocolate
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 6 eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease one 10 inch round cake pan and set aside.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat combine the water, salt and sugar. Stir until completely dissolved and set aside.
3. Either in the top half of a double boiler or in a microwave oven melt the bittersweet chocolate. Pour the chocolate into the bowl of an electric mixer.
4. Cut the butter into pieces and beat the butter into the chocolate, 1 piece at a time. Beat in the hot sugar-water. Slowly beat in the eggs, one at a time.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Have a pan larger than the cake pan ready, put the cake pan in the larger pan and fill the pan with boiling water halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
6. Bake cake in the water bath at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 45 minutes. The center will still look wet.
7. Chill cake overnight in the pan. To unmold, dip the bottom of the cake pan in hot water for 10 seconds and invert onto a serving plate.

Tips and Tidbits For Flourless Cake

Use a lot of heavy-duty foil to seal the pan and keep the water bath out. Heavily used springform pans or cheap pans could leak.

Use parchment paper in the bottom of your springform pan. Spray the parchment and sides of the pan with PAM.
