OK , Y’all were coming to the tail end of “Paula Deen Week” Today’s is Day Five. I know I said I would lay off the dessert’s some, but what can I say. I was searching Paula Deen’s online recipe site yesterday and I came across the recipe for Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding. When I saw the picture it was another OMYGOODNESS” moment. So of course I had to make it. We love the Traditional Homemade Version of Banana Pudding. When I saw the ingredients I was definitely sold, so I was curious on how Paula’s simplified version would taste. My husband loves Sweetened Condensed Milk, I know this because I have seen him eat that stuff straight out of the can, so I definitely think he will like this.
Off to the store we went to get the ingredients. Oh man this is going to be good. Of course that’s what I say about all of Paula Deen’s recipes. When it comes to a good dessert recipe I usually don’t need any excuse to make it.
This recipe is really easy to prepare so my kiddos will be doing most of the work and they love helping. I prepared a half recipe and used a 8 x 8 inch pan so I cut the following ingredients in half. (cookie’s, bananas, milk, cream cheese and for the pudding I used a 3.5oz box and a 10 oz carton of cool whip) The recipe turned out perfect.

Mackenzie made this dessert all by herself.
Line the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch dish with 1 bag of cookies.
Put a even layer of bananas on top of the cookies.
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.
Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture and blend.
Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended
Yummo! we know this because my little taste testers have already dug a spoon in the pudding mixture
Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and cover with the remaining cookies. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Goodness we couldn't wait any longer before digging in. All I can say is Yummo Good!!!!!! Mackenzie is so proud that she made this dessert all by herself.

I love Paula Dean. She's such a character. Even my 18 year old daughter watches her food network show. This banana pudding recipe sounds delicious, especially with the Chessman cookies. I'll have to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Love the layout of your blog! :)
