Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend. The weather cleared and it was clean and beautiful here. Can’t wait for summer.
I have a handful of yummy desserts that I always use for parties. I really need to find some new “go tos” because I’m sure my friends are getting tired of me bringing the same things but with my 1952 oven that doesn’t seal, I simply don’t have the motivation. Luckily, these treats are fabulous, extremely quick and simple. I am also including the recipe for the most amazing whip cream. Really you won’t want to buy pre-made again. This is so fast and yummy.
You need to make the mini banana creme pies eight hours to a day ahead so that the cookie has time to soften and the flavors can blend. You can also make it in a big casserole dish to simply scoop and serve using the same steps.
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
A standing mixer. I hate to say it but if you don’t have a standing mixer (Kitchen Aide) is won’t come out nearly as good. You won’t be able to get the volume or whip that you need. It will be OK but really there is a big difference.
Banana Creme Pie
instant banana pudding (yes I have made it from scratch, but honestly, it doesn’t taste better so save some time),
whole milk
caramel sauce
whipped cream
mini and regular sized vanilla wafers (if you only want to buy 1 box- get the minis)
mini plastic cup (these are from Party City) and
bananas which I forgot to put in the picture above but are definitely the most important part of this dessert
