I'm on the fence this year. I've really enjoyed the warmer weather, but I do love the upcoming Fall season and it's gathering holidays. I love gatherings, the chilly weather, candles aglow and everyone cuddled around a warm fire! Mercy, I'm getting ahead of myself!
I thought I'd re-share a favorite recipe of mine that would be spectacular at your Labor Day celebration, it's super easy but looks like you made a big fuss over it. It's a winner with the grown-ups and kiddos alike! Enjoy y'all.........
Ingredients:
4 medium bananas, sliced
1 [12 ounce] box of vanilla wafers
2 [4.6 ounce] boxes of Jello Brand Cook And Serve Vanilla Pudding and 6 cups of milk to prepare
For the meringue topping:
6 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
Prepare the pudding according to the package directions. Place half of cooked mixture in a 13x9 inch baking dish, place single layer of vanilla wafers over pudding then sliced bananas over wafers. Layer other half of pudding on top of layers. Place more vanilla wafers around the outer edge of the dish. Cover with plastic wrap to cool slightly while preparing meringue.
For the meringue: Preheat oven to 350*. Beat egg whites and cream of tarter until soft peaks form. Then gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spread on top of pudding and bake until golden brown.
Chill a few hours in the fridge before serving. Enjoy!
This dessert is just so beautiful. The meringue gives it such a crown of glory. This is comfort food at it's best. I hope you'll give it a try sometime soon! It's so very yummy to the tummy!
