Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding

This is my first "My Girl Paula Post". The recipe chosen for this week's challenge was Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding. I have made this recipe before and absolutely adore this Banana Pudding. It is not the old fashioned Banana Pudding our mothers make so, the title is very fitting that it is definitely Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding. Instead of Vanilla Wafers it uses Peppridge Farm Chessman Cookies. The pudding ingredients consist of everything that is horribly bad for you. Cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, cool whip and french vanilla pudding. It is a deadly combination, but you will not be disappointed by this dessert. Once you make it you will be making it again and again. If you are a Paula Deen fan just like me, and would to join in on the fun click on the My Girl Paula Graphic below for more information. It is all about Our Girl Paula Deen and cooking up her wonderful recipes. Thank you Alwayz Bakin for hosting this week's challenge. Photobucket

I'd love to join your little group! I love Paula's recipes.

This one sounds delicious, and remember. It's okay to indulge. Everything in Moderation!

that sounds very yummy. I call my banana puddin "happy ending pudding" since there is a lot of groaning when peeps eat it.
I'm sure that's delish - it's Ms. Paula!! I would join in the challenge but I'm no good with that kinda stuff where you "have" to cook something specific. I'm more of a on-the-fly cook!! I'll shore be watchin' you know that!

What a fun group. I was thinking the other day of all the Paula recipes I have made. Have you made her toffee or velveeta cheese peanut butter fudge? Those are 2 that I have LOVED! If you haven't tried them already, you really should. I think I gain 10 pounds just looking at anything she cooks. How she doesn't weigh 500 pounds is beyond me!

Ah yes...The recipe that made me fall for both you and Paula in the first place!
This one is my fave.
Michelle said…
Yours looks great! I loved it! I had to make the bigger one since I was feeding 7 of us on it! Love your blog!
This looks really yummy! I haven't made many of Paula's recipes but I drool every time I see her cook.

I made this as a half-recipe kind of like you did. I made all the cream cheese/scmilk/whipped topping mixture and used half in the recipe with a small box of pudding, and froze the other half of the cream cheese mixture (in the whipped topping container!) for another time. It thawed well in the fridge and I was able to make it again with another small box of pudding.

Sherri, head on over and join it is so fun. You only have to participate twice a month so thats good.

GroovyGirl, it is definitly a moaning and a groaning dessert, so sinful.

Awee Mcbee your just the sweetest thank you so much. I love Paula and all her recipes so this is fun for me.

Susie I will have to remember it for the next time. What a great idea. Thanks Ü
Tina, I've made this recipe and we love it. I agree with Meg, your use of the Chessman cookies takes it over the top. Smart idea neighbor.

I didn't know there was a Paula Event!!!!! When did it start! I'm gonna check it out!!!
Tina Butler said…
Hi Bunny, It is hosted by another fellow blogger and Paula Deen Fan. She just started it this month it is similar to Tuesday with Dorie. It is really fun + we get to cook all paulas dishes that are selected how can you go wrong.
