Having a little one robs me of the luxury of spending an hour+ in the kitchen baking. Knowing this, when asked what desert husband would like me to make this weekend he chose the quintessential summer dish, nilla wafer and banana puddin’…you know, the one Grandma used to serve. However, unlike Grandma I decided against using instant pudding and instead decided to follow the recipe on the nilla wafer box. This would mean homemade custard and meringue which would be more time in the kitchen but a heck of a lot more fun.
The end result was a bit different than the desert we remembered as children but just as good (I’m a sucker for meringue). I’m glad I tried the alternative recipe and we’ll definitely be having this again.
