Hello and welcome to you in the kitchen with Matt, I am
your host, Matt Taylor.
Today, I want to show you how to make banana pudding.
Oh, yeah.
This is a very popular dessert down in the south and all over
the United States.
And it's really easy to do.
No baking required, no cooking of any kind.
Pretty cool.
So it's perfect for the summertime when it's
really hot outside.
Really easy to do simple ingredients.
If I can do it, you can do it.
Before I move on, make sure to subscribe to my channel and hit
that notification bell so you won't miss out on any of
my new videos.
Let's get started down below in the description box,
you'll find a list of the ingredients and the amounts.
All right.
So I have eight ounces of softened cream cheese, and if
you forget to put this out at room temperature, then you can
just put it in the microwave, like on defrost for about 45
seconds or so.
And that should soften it up.
And now let's go ahead and mix this until it's nice
and smooth.
All right, here we go.
Fantastic.
And now I have one 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk,
396 grams.
Pour this in there
and we'll make sure to get a little special in there and get
all that out.
I want to be wasting money on this.
And I have one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
And you could do two teaspoons as well if you want.
I'm just going to turn this on.
All right, until it's pretty much combined, I'm going to
have one package of vanilla pudding and this is the five
ounce or 144 gram package of instant vanilla pudding.
And if you wanted to do this from scratch, you could make my
homemade vanilla pudding recipe instead.
So if you were going to make it from make the pudding
from scratch, you would still want to use the swim
condensed milk, you would make that pudding and then you would
blend it with the swim, condensed milk, and it would
get you to this point.
OK, and then what we're going to do is we're going to pour
some of this milk out three cups of cold milk, I am using
whole milk, just pour some in at first
and it's probably going to get Sloshy on you.
And so what you could do.
Is
let's just take this the beta's.
As you might want to do some of it by hand without a mixer,
otherwise it's going to splash up on you.
It's more that in there and you could just do this with a whisk
in like a wooden spoon and not use a mixer at all, but those
of you who may not want to use a mixer
and then put the rest of that in
and then and at this point, I have eight ounces of just
whipped topping this like a dollar at the supermarket.
You could use whipped cream as well.
So you take heavy cream with it.
And I want to use half of this.
It is soft.
I set it out at room temperature so it could
get really soft.
And we want to take half of this
and put it in there.
No SABIS other half.
A little bit later and now we want to fold this
all together.
OK, and then once you are done
mixing that topping in, we'll set this aside
for a moment.
And you see I have some
bananas here.
I need a few more of these.
So you could use four or five bananas.
I mean, what is Cuddy's?
OK, so do that with the rest of the bananas.
All right.
Until you are done with the bananas and then I'm going to
set the bananas aside and now it's time to assemble it and
you can assemble it in a variety of dishes.
I just have a medium Pyrex bowl.
This is not going to be able to fit at all because I want to
show you some other things you can do.
Do it in a little glass bowl.
Several of those as like a one serving size.
You could assemble it in some ramekins.
And then we take our cookies or vanilla wafers, cookies,
and we are going to lay them down in here on the bottom.
And then I want to come in here with some bananas.
And depending on the person, they will assemble,
assemble these differently.
OK, it's up to you how you assemble them.
There's no right or wrong way to assemble it totally
up to you.
Make sure you have clean hands if you're going to be touching
the bananas or use gloves or just scoop it in there and not
get all precise like I'm doing.
OK, so I have a layer of vanilla wafers and then I have
a layer of bananas and then come in here with
your mixture,
do a layer of the potting mix.
And then you can also layer
the cookies this way.
And then they'll have a lot of times they'll be the cookies
will be up on the sides so you can see them through
the glass container.
All right, and then we'll layer some on some more
of these bananas.
All right, once the layer of banana is down, would grab some
the pudding mix.
Once we're at the top of the dish, we'll take some of
this whip topping.
And then smooth it out on top and then you can usually put
another row of cookies.
Around it.
All right, and then we want to cover this
plastic wrap.
All right, and then you just put it in the fridge and chill
it until you're ready to serve it.
At least 30 minutes to start.
And then with this individual dish, I put one
cookie down on the bottom
and then I'm going to put several these
slices of banana in here is load this thing up and then
we'll put a little bit of this putting in there.
And then maybe do something like, you know,
just kind of decorate this the same way.
With a little bit of topping right there in the middle,
so there's a little individual serving that you can do.
And then, of course, you want to cover it and show it in the
fridge once you've allowed the pudding to set 30 minutes to an
hour so you can dig into it.
And I'm going to go into this one.
Oh, yeah, some of those.
Bananas in there.
Mm hmm.
All right, the banana pudding is done and
turned out fantastic.
Really easy to do.
Simple dessert.
If I can do it, you can do it.
