Today, October 14 is National Dessert Day!
Who decides these things… fat people. Fat, happy, power-hungry people. If it’s excuse to add just a little something sweet to your life… then why not! Here’s some delicious inspiration of just some of my favorite dessert recipes. Make them to celebrate this glorious made-up holiday and spread some sweet sweet love!
While I am currently in Nashville, you know I will CERTAINLY be indulging in National Dessert Day today.
Banana pudding, Bananas Foster, banana bread… Southerners really do have a knack for turning anything remotely healthy into a decadent treat. You could put this banana cream pie at the top of that list. I’m not sure if it’s purely Southern, but it’s pretty darn delicious.
This was my first attempt at making and eating banana cream pie. When it comes to pies, I generally stick to either pecan pie or ones with berries. Again, this cookbook is proving to be a godsend for my culinary ignorance. My tastebuds are forever indebted.
A traditional banana cream pie usually has a buttery pie dough or a graham cracker crust but I really liked the chocolate crumb crust here. It was not too sweet and provided a deep flavor that went so perfectly with the bananas. Plus you get to give a little oh-it’s-no-big-deal shrug when people ask… “you made the cookie crumbs for the crust too?”
