Check out this recipe for the best homemade banana pudding from Delish.com.

Perfect Banana Pudding

c. whole milk

(5.1-oz.) package vanilla pudding mix

(14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

heavy cream

pure vanilla extract

(12-oz.) box vanilla wafer cookies

bananas, sliced into coins

granulated sugar

I made this recipe. It was quick and easy to put together. I did not have sweetened condensed milk, so I combined one can (12 ounces) of evaporated milk with 2 1/4  cups of granulated sugar which I then boiled on the stovetop stirring constantly until it thickened. Chilled it in an ice bath to cool so that I could add it to the instant pudding mixture. Everybody loved this super smooth delicious banana putting.

This was the first time I made this recipe because I usually make banana pudding from scratch with egg yolks and milk and cook on the stove until done. I will definitely save this recipe and make it again and again (this time I’ll make sure I have sweeten condensed milk in the pantry before I begin). I definitely rated five stars and everyone raved about how good it was!  Thanks Delish!

Excellent recipe, very easy to make, and everyone loved it. Thank you

I made this recipe last weekend. It was the best banana pudding I have ever tasted.

Absolutely explainable ingredients and recipes to understand.. thanks!

I've made Banana Pudding different ways. I always prefer homemade pudding of course, but I usually don't have the time. I "never" use instant pudding, I don't buy it, it taste fake. I use the Cook&Serve Vanilla pudding. I've never used banana pudding (it doesn't taste like real bananas). I don't use condensed milk because it makes it too sweet. I usually use 2 tubs of Cool Whip, 1 for the pudding and the other (about ¾) for the topping. My great-grandmother never used any type of whipped topping and it came out great, of course she made everything from scratch. 
My aunt uses French Vanilla pudding. It's very good, if you like French Vanilla pudding.

I've made this recipe for about 20 years.  If you're in a pinch,  use Cool Whip and it's even easier.  I add the bananas to the pudding/ cream mixture and then layer that between the wafers.

I've never seen or had banana pudding made with instant pudding.

Buttermilk pie is a classic southern custard pie made with basic pantry ingredients. Creamy and rich, it tastes like creme brulee. Easy and DELICIOUS!

Buttermilk Pie

pastry

eggs (at room temperature)

sugar

all-purpose flour

salt

unsalted butter

low fat buttermilk

whiskey (such as bourbon, vanilla

lemon

lemon juice

vanilla extract

nutmeg (freshly grated if possible)

whipped cream (optional,

Prepare and roll out the pie crust. Transfer it to a standard 9-inch pie dish.

Trim the edge almost even with the edge of the pan Fold the edges under and crimp with your fingers or a fork. Refrigerate until you are ready to bake.

Position one rack in the center of the oven and one in the lower third. Preheat to 325 degrees F.

In the bowl of a standard mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on low speed just until mixed.

To the bowl, add the sugar, flour, and salt. Mix again on low speed, just until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Add the melted butter and mix once more.

Add the buttermilk, whiskey, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Gently stir until combined.

Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator. Slowly pour in the filling. Pour into prepared pie shell. Gently place the pie dish on a rimmed baking sheet.

Carefully place the pie on its baking sheet onto the bottom third rack. Bake for 20 minutes.

Slowly and gently transfer the baking sheet with the pie to the oven&#039;s center rack. Continue baking for 40 more minutes. You will know the pie is done when the center is set and a thin, crackly crust forms on top. Check the pie a few times as it bakes to make sure the crust isn&#039;t browning too fast. If the crust starts to become darker than you&#039;d like, use a pie shield or strips of aluminum foil to cover and protect it. Continue baking as directed.

Transfer the pie to a wire rack to cool. You can serve it warm, chilled, or at room temperature. Top with lots of whipped cream and enjoy!

What are Black folks tea cakes?An African American Southern dessert, Black folks tea cake is a sweet little biscuit. Light, airy, and sometimes compared to soda bread or pound cake. Tea cakes are a traditional African American treat that dates back to the 1600s.

Black Folks Southern Tea Cake Recipe

butter (unsalted & softened)

sugar (granulated)

lemon zest

sour cream

mayonnaise

evaporated milk

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium-size bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for about 2 minutes until creamy.

Add the egg, lemon zest, sour cream, mayonnaise, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract.

Mix until well blended to make the tea cake batter.

Sift together the remaining dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg over a sheet of parchment paper large enough to fit your baking sheet.

Fold the parchment paper to pour the sifted flour mixture into the tea cake batter and then mix again.

Add the batter to a lightly floured surface and roll the dough to approx ¼ inch thickness. This is where the extra cup of flour will come in handy to help with rolling because the dough is sticky!

Cut out the tea cakes with a 2 ½&quot; up to 3″ biscuit cutter. (I used a 2 ¾” biscuit cutter.)

Place the rounds onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet about one inch apart. (You may need to bake more than 1 batch if all your rounds don’t fit on your baking sheet.)

Bake until light brown (but don’t let them get too brown!). 5-6 minutes in the conventional oven and 3-4 minutes in the Instant Pot Omni Plus oven. (Tea cakes don’t take long to bake, so keep a close eye on them to avoid burning! Like a biscuit, you want them firm on the outside and fluffy on the inside.)

Optional: When the tea cakes are finished baking and cooling, optionally make the lemon glaze frosting by combining the powdered sugar and lemon juice.

Mix well with a whisk to remove any lumps from the powdered sugar.

Use a small spatula or spoon to drop a dollop of icing onto each cooled tea cake. The icing will harden in about 5 minutes.

Optionally, garnish this Southern Black folk tea cake recipe with a sprinkle of lemon zest, then serve and enjoy!

This soul food dessert and the darling favorite of the South is loaded with fresh, juicy peaches and topped with a light and airy cinnamon sugar crust. A cobbler so delicious, you may want to eat it all. All by yourself!

Black Folks Southern Peach Cobbler Recipe

ginger (minced)

water (cold)

cornstarch

milk

¾ cup sugar (granulated)

butter (melted)

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place the butter in the baking dish and then place the dish in the oven to melt the butter while the oven is preheating.

Remove the melted butter from the oven after a few minutes and set it aside.

Peel and slice the peaches into quarters, and then halve the quartered peach slices. (If using canned peaches, use a colander to drain the peach juice before slicing them).

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the ingredients for the peach filling: peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. (I mixed the peach cobbler filling in my Instant Pot inner pot with the lid off and the &#39;keep warm&#39; setting on.)

Add the cornstarch to the cold water and stir until smooth.

Pour the cornstarch mixture into the peach mixture.

Stir the peach mixture to combine the ingredients and then set aside.

In a second medium-sized bowl, whisk the ingredients for the cobbler batter: Bisquick, milk, sugar, and vanilla.

Pour the Bisquick mixture over the melted butter in the baking pan.

Then, pour the peaches into the Bisquick mixture (the dough will rise around the peaches as it bakes). 

Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes in the conventional oven. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-45 minutes if using the Instant Pot Omni Plus oven. Watch the cobbler while baking, and bake until the cobbler dough is golden brown.

To test if the cobbler is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cobbler dough. If it comes out clean, then it is done.

Serve Black folks Southern peach cobbler recipe warm, and enjoy!
