Yep, ya heard me right. BOURBON. Last I checked Kentucky is still part of the South.
A couple weeks ago I was looking for a good Banana Nut Bread to compare mine to. I discovered a Bourbon version of it. Hmmm, sounded good. I haven't made it yet. That's gonna be another story.
But the idea crossed, and may have overloaded my pea brain. But, what about a good ole banana puddin' with a bit of a kick in the bottom? I'll tell ya what, everthing goes good with bourbon, including bourbon. LOL
'Nuff said, let's git to cookin', er, stirrin' and samplin'.

Nilla Wafers and Bourbon



Ready to set up



The Cool Whip



The Money Shot



Jarhead's Southern Bourbon 'Nanner Puddin'

3-1/2 Cups Cold Milk (I don't care what the package says)
2 Boxes Instant Vanilla Pudding (4 serving size)
1 Box Nilla Wafers
3-4 Ripe Bananas
1 Jigger Bourbon (or more. Ya know, for the cook)
1 Tub of Cool Whip (thawed)

Mix 2 pkg of instant pudding, whisk for 2 minutes or until stiff.
Let it set for 5 minutes.
Layer 1/2 of the wafers into a 9x13 glass baking dish.
Spritz or sprinkle the bourbon over the wafers.
Peel and slice 1 banana into 1/4 inch rounds.
Layer over the wafers. (be careful, the wafers will suck up more bourbon than Otis Campbell)
Spread 1/2 of the pudding over the first 2 layers.
Repeat.
Let set for 2 hours in the fridge.
Spread thawed Cool Whip over the top.
Refrigerate another 2-3 hours before serving.
Garnish with sliced bananas, stood edgewise. Make sure you dip them in lemon juice or they will turn brown.

Thanks for lookin'. Enjoy!

Last I checked Kentucky is still part of the South.

I'm a liquor rep down here in Texas and sell both bulleit and bulleit rye and both are so good. Top of the list for me as far as bourbons are concerned

Post me as a Blanton's and Eagle Rare man, made STRAIGHT from the Buffalo Trace Distillery in the great city of Frankfurt in the great Bluegrass state of Kentucky...Salute!!!

And Gunny, you DO NOT have a pea brain, give yerself credit, I make it at least the size of a walnut, or maybe even a tangerine....myself, I can only plead that the only reason I am still alive is that the almighty looks after idiots and small children.

Gunny - you had me at bourbon. And then again at nanner pudding. Mighty fine lookin' dessert.

Recently stumbled on Bulleit and just found a store that sell it cheaper than Jack Black. Quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

Thank you Griffin.
See what you started with you BOURBON chocolate pecan pie.

Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Ok...so what's the next bourbon dessert?

Griffin, I believe it's your turn with the bourbon.

OK, I'll see what I can come up with.
