Grandma Lee's Paradise pudding image

I found this recipe in my grandmothers little notebook. she passed away in 1960's and the recipes are dated in the 1940, so its an old one for sure, I had no Idea what it would turn out like but thought I would give it a try. I'm not sure why its called Pudding" it tastes a little like a s'more I may just have to add chocolate to it next time. I will write the directions as she has them written and then I will add the revisions I took.I thought it would be fun to share.

  • I used mini marshmallows, and to sweeten the evaporated milk I used about 3T of sugar and a tsp of vanilla, I also ran a little short on graham crackers to roll the pudding in so crushed a few vanilla wafers, I am not sure where I was suppose to set it aside to harden, so I stuck mine in the refrigerator.

Grandma's Banana Pudding image

My grandma ran a country club and a restaurant in her day. She can make amazing food, but sometimes it's hard to get a recipe from her because she doesn't measure anything and makes everything from memory. While letting her talk it out, I was able to get this banana pudding and a few other recipes written down. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your pudding will taste. This is especially important for the fruit, which should be ripe and flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pudding tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pudding in a water bath: This will help to prevent the pudding from curdling. To create a water bath, place the pudding dish in a larger baking dish filled with hot water.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the pudding to set properly.

Conclusion:

Grandma Lee's Paradise Pudding is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and fluffy meringue topping, this pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
