Notes: This recipe takes me back to my childhood. I spent lots of time in the kitchen with my grandmother.
My grandpa's favorite dessert was my grandma's banana pudding, the way her momma made it. Time spent with my grandparents holds such fond memories, often in the kitchen and around the table as we talked about our day, prayed for people we cared for, and those who were suffering.
On many birthdays, grandmother would make the yummy warm dessert. It was always such a treat for us. We absolutely loved eating it warm, but even when refrigerated and taken out later, it still was just as delicious.
I gratefully think of the time I spent in the kitchen with my grandma. My heart smiles when I think of my daughter, Alicia, also wearing the same apron I did, standing next to grandmother on a stool helping her make the pudding treat. I consider how full my heart is knowing I will make this same delicious treat with my own granddaughter, Amelia Kate.
These memories make me smile whenever I make the pudding for family gatherings, or when asked for an occasion. Thank you for letting me share my love story, I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as our family does.
