- Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, pudding mix, half-and-half, sour cream and the salt in a large bowl.
- Reserve 4 to 6 cookies for garnish and layer half of the remaining cookies among the bottom of 4 to 6 16-ounce serving dishes (or mason jars), or in a trifle bowl (or other large glass serving dish). Next, drizzle half of the caramel over the cookies, then a layer of half the bananas, then half the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients. Top with the whipped cream and a butter cookie or cookies. Serve or chill up to overnight.
GRANDMA'S BANANA PUDDING
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!

GRANDMA'S RICE PUDDING
My sisters and I always loved the recipe for rice pudding our grandma made. After she passed away, I took it upon myself to try and find the secret to her rice pudding. It took quite a bit of experimentation, but I finally got it right! And I'm glad to share this easy recipe here. -Margaret DeChant, Newberry, Michigan

GRANDMA RENE'S OLD-FASHIONED BANANA PUDDING
This was the way my mom made banana pudding. You'll find no vanilla pudding mix in this! It's all homemade and with love. I used a saucepan on the stove to cook the custard, but you have to constantly stir it to keep it from scalding on the bottom because it needs to come to a boil (bubble) to thicken. If you're not comfortable doing that, try using a double-boiler. But it must bubble. For extra zip in the custard, add 1/4 tsp. of lemon oil or 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. The meringue is simple and delicious. If you want a mile-high meringue, use 6 eggs whites (any leftovers in the freezer? Take 'em out!) and 1/2 cup sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar and a pinch of salt. Eggs are easier to separate when they're cold. So do so, and let them come to room temp before using. Bananas are best if they're ripe and sweet. Don't get any that are green. If yours are green, wait for them to ripen (putting them in a brown paper bag will speed the process). Don't worry about having too many bananas....it's great piled high with all the ingredients! Best served warm, but good either way. Zap in microwave if you have kept it in the refrigerator for hot banana pudding! This is one of my favorite comfort foods!

Steps:
- In a saucepan or double-boiler, mix the sugar, flour, salt, milk, egg yolks and whole egg. Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly to bring up to a good temperature. Slowly increase heat until mixture thickens and bubbles and becomes thick. It will coat the back of a wooden spoon and when you draw your finger down the middle of the back of the spoon, the separation remains.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla and lemon oil or zest if using.
- Slice bananas 1/4" to 1/2" thick, whatever your preference.
- Use a 2 quart souffle dish or 10-inch pie plate. Layer vanilla wafers on bottom. Top with some bananas, followed by the custard. Repeat until all the custard is used. Finish with custard and wafers pressed down into it.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- MERINGUE:.
- Take room temperature egg whites and add cream of tartar and pinch of salt. Beat til foamy. As volume increases, slowly add sugar. Whip til glossy but not dry. Stop mixer and add vanilla. Whip til incorporated and meringue stands in stiff peaks but it not dry. Meringue should still have a nice sheen to it.
- Dump meringue on top of prepared banana pudding mixture and spread out to the edges and seal to the edge using a spatula. Sealing is important as the meringue will shrink from the edges if you don't.
- Bake in a 350 oven for 8-10 minutes, til golden brown. If you've tall peaks, watch closely for browning of the tips. They can brown really fast.
- Remove from oven and cool on countertop. Serve warm or put in refrigerator when completely cool to keep meringue from sweating.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have graham cracker crumbs, you can make your own by crushing graham crackers in a food processor or blender.
- You can use any type of nuts you like in this recipe, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds.
- Be sure to chill the pudding for at least 4 hours before serving, or overnight for the best results.
- You can garnish the pudding with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a dusting of cinnamon before serving.
Conclusion:
Grandma Lee's Paradise Pudding is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, this pudding is sure to become a family favorite.
