You'll love this Luscious Banana Cream Delight! It's home-made luscious vanilla cheesecake pudding dessert with a layer of banana slices with on a buttery graham cracker crust and some fluffy whipped cream on top! Sounds pretty damn good and it's no wonder, it's been such a classic over time!!
It's such a luscious Banana Cream Pie Delight in a pan!! I love the classic desserts!! You may love this Easiest 6 Ingredient Banana Layered Pudding Dessert too!
Ok, I compare classic desserts to my favorite TCM channel. In case, you don't know what TCM is? It's a TV network station that plays all the old classic films and TCM stands for Turner Classic Movies. Have you heard of it or ever watched it?
My kids think I'm a weirdo and make fun of me, but I can't help it! No interruptions and I am hopelessly and totally obsessed with all these black and white movies.
They're just so iconic looking, have a much higher quality of storytelling and I always feel transported to a former time period. My favorite era when movies were made are from the 40's and 50's. AND...I love they way they dressed back then, so retro, so fashionable and so classic.
However, I found I do not like silent movies from the 20's and 30's and I do not like Westerns, most musicals and some of the war movies, with the exception of all World War II history. I love movies like Gilda
I'm just not much into the fake reality TV, game shows and it makes me mad when the history channel has reality shows that have nothing to do with history...Shows like Ice Truckers
Please...BUT! If it's a competing cooking or baking show, I will watch those, because that's what I love to do myself.
Did I ever tell you that I was contacted by a casting producer to cast for “Halloween Baking Championship” and “Holiday Baking Championship" back in April 2017? I was so excited, but the timing was bad and I had to turn it down probably the chance of a lifetime, but the thought of being in front of millions of people if I had been cast, seemed really scary to me! But I did make it to Food Network with my Apple Fritter Bread.
Just give me the good old classics, like this old-fashioned Banana Cream Delight and my black and white movies. It's all good!
You'll love this creamy banana and vanilla cheesecake pudding dessert because it's so luscious and yummy and I hope you try it! It's one of the classics you'll definitely want to go back in time with!

This is not the recipe I was asking about. The recipe in my question, I got on the lid that you can remove from Cool Whip, back in the mid 70's. And was called Banana Delight. Email me and I will send you this particular recipe?
