Banana Coconut Cream Dessert image

A bump up from vanilla pudding with bananas! But almost as easy! (You could cheat and use whipped cream from a can... Also, because of a contest, there is no milk in the pudding rather half heavy cream and half water. Under normal circumstances, I'd just use the 2 cups milk!)

This dessert is a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it a day or two in advance and it will still be delicious.

I made this dessert gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. It was just as delicious as the regular version.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond milk and almond extract instead. It turned out great!

This dessert was a total flop! The filling was runny and the topping was burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The texture of this dessert was a bit too firm for my liking. I think I'll try using a different type of banana next time, maybe one that is a bit riper.

I found this dessert to be a bit bland. I think it needed more flavor. I might try adding some spices, like cinnamon or nutmeg, next time.

This dessert is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This dessert was a delightful tropical treat! The combination of banana, coconut, and cream created a luscious and creamy texture that melted in my mouth. The flavors were well-balanced and the sweetness was just right. I especially loved the toasted
