I’m not sure why, but Banana Pudding is a staple here in Georgia. You can get it at every barbecue restaurant and it’s usually served with Nilla Wafers. Not my thing (I’m more a tapioca fan), but my husband loves it.
In this episode of Recipe Rehab, Chef Daniel Green and Chef Aida Mollenkamp compete to make the Schwartz family’s banana pudding healthier. I like that Chef Aida used coconut milk, making her dish dairy free. I also like how her recipe seemed to use real foods, not “fakey” no fat sour cream or no fat half n half like Chef Daniel. However, I wasn’t surprised that the Schwartzes like Chef Daniel’s recipe, because he used Jello banana pudding, which I felt was a big cheat. After all, that’s what people are used to – pudding mix. Blech!
You can watch Chef Daniel and Chef Aida duke it out below. Or watch them individually rehab banana pudding – Chef Daniel here and Chef Aida here.
