I didn't see my son, Lance Corporal Eric Harris, for more than two years after he enlisted in the Marines after high school. And when I saw him arrive at the airport, I just grabbed hold of him and burst out crying. When we got home, the first thing he ate was two bowls of my easy banana pudding recipe. He's a true southern boy! It's a dessert, but you can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. -Stephanie Harris, Montpelier, Virginia

BANANA POE



Banana Poe image

From vanilla.com http://www.vanilla.com/index.php/Recipes/Desserts/banana-poe.html The starch in poe comes from the Manioc root, also known as casava and yuca. Originally a food of the Americas, it was taken to Africa in the 16th century, and later to tropical countries worldwide. It is now a common component in Pacific Island cuisine. It's filling, nutritious, and easy to digest. Banana poe is so popular that it's sold pre-mixed in boxes in the stores in Tahiti. If manioc is an unfamiliar term for you, perhaps you're familiar with tapioca, which is also made from manioc. In poe, manioc starch is used. It can usually be found in specialty food stores, Asian markets, and sometimes where bulk foods are sold.

Provided by DreiFromBK

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter (or try this homemade pb)
2 ripe bananas, mashed*
2 1/2 cups dry oats
Bonus: 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, bananas, and vanilla extract until well mixed. 2. Mix in oats and chocolate chips. 3. Make into small bowls, put into the fridge, and wait until they are chill. 4. Eat up my friend. *Unless you use a blender to mash the bananas, there may still be banana chucks in your batter. But it still tastes just as good.

Tips:

  • Overripe Bananas: Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a creamier consistency, which makes them perfect for banana pudding.
  • Creamy Mixture: Ensure the cream cheese and milk are at room temperature before mixing them together. This will help them combine smoothly and create a creamy mixture.
  • Layering: Layer the pudding and banana slices in a trifle dish or individual serving cups. This will create a beautiful presentation and allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Chilling: Chill the pudding for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. This will allow the pudding to set and the flavors to develop fully.
  • Garnish: Garnish the pudding with whipped cream, toasted coconut, or chopped nuts before serving. This will add extra flavor and texture to the dish.
