Okay, let’s make a banana pudding. That’s sugar, corn starch, and then mix that up off the heat. And then add your milk. Put some heat on it. Add your eggs. And keep mixing that till it’s thick. Add some vanilla and some butter. And then put that in the fridge to cool. Then make some cookies. That was butter and sugar and an egg and some vanilla. Cream that all together. Add some flour and some baking powder and some salt. Sift that. And then you’re going to add that to your cookie batter. And just mix that all together until it’s well mixed and you’re making cookies out of that. Put it on your baking sheet with some parchment paper. Bake them and let them cool. Then whip you up some whipped cream like that. Then once you get your cream whipped, you can add that to your pudding mixture that had been cooling and turned into a slab. And uh just add your uh whipped cream to that and mix that together. And then we can whip some more cream. Just use the same bowl cuz it just had whipped cream in it. Sweeten this one a little bit. and about a tablespoon of sugar or two. And just make some whipped cream there. And then we assemble it all. Put your cookies in your casserole, chip you up some bananas, and then put your pudding in and smear it around. And then I’m going to add some more cookies. and put some on the edge, too, if you want to be fancy and chip you up some more bananas. Just something like that. And then you can add some more pudding. Once you get them arranged, then smear your pudding around and add that whipped cream on top. Smear it around, too. You can pulverize one of those cookies in a ninja and then just sprinkle it on top of it. Make it look pretty and put in the fridge. It’s good.
