Great recipe to use for your ripened bananas
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My Vietnamese husband was skeptical at first that I was going to follow a recipe instead of learning from his mom. But after... trying it, he loved it and thought that I might get the stamp of approval from his mom. Thanks Ms Trang!Read more

Delicious and light dessert soup. Loved every bite. I preferred it cold as a dessert but my wife enjoyed it warm as an... appetizer.Read more

Absolutely wonderful & delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'd never even heard of this before, but I used only half the sugar (1/4c., not 1/2c.) and used brown, not white. I diced... the bananas, and poured the hot pudding over them, instead of cooking the bananas, since I don't like them cooked. Oh so very good! I will halve the sugar once more, or even eliminate it next time, and make a double batch! I think it would be as delightful chilled in the summertime as it is warming in the winter!Read more
