Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

Chocolate Banana Cream Dessert

Our wonderfully warm Christmas morning fire

Before the gift opening


Wow, all I can say is Wow! As Wubbzy would say, "Wow, Wow, Wow!"

This was such a huge hit around here. Go get the stuff, go make this. Make it right now. Believe me, I am NOT exaggerating how unbelievably good this.

My father-in-law, who is not one to gush, deemed it the "best dessert I have ever had." I am still basking in the glow of the compliment.

I will not take credit for this one. Here is the recipe. Thanks to Bakerella! You ROCK!

Note: I made this with Trader Joe's Instant Chocolate Pudding. The combination of the whipped cream, chocolate pudding and bananas (not to mention the lemons I pinched from the neighbor's Meyer lemon tree) is to die for.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe holiday! Merry Christmas!
