Sinful Summer Desserts + Bayou Boogie

With summer in full swing in Cajun country, I am making a few of my favorite summer desserts. I just love to cool down after a dip in the pool with a luscious cold treat. Think cool, think yummy, and think sinfully delicious! Guaranteed to please your family and guests, and just perfect for your Father's Day celebration! Bon appetit!

Banana Pudding Squares

Crust

2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
1/4 cup sugar
4 to 5 tbs.'s butter, melted

Combine and press evenly into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish and bake @ 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool completely and evenly place a layer of bananas on top of crust and set aside. Make filling.

Filling

4 eggs
2 large cans Pet milk
1 cup sugar
2 medium bananas, sliced

Heat milk in medium saucepan and bring just to a boil. Remove from heat. Pour the eggs into the milk and return to low heat and add sugar. Continue cooking on low, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and pour over prepared crust. Cover and chill for 2 hours and top with whipped cream. (recipe below)

 Whipped Cream

1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Place the whipping cream and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Stir in the powdered sugar and mix on low, with an electric hand mixer until peaks form. ( about 3 to 4 minutes) Spread filling evenly on top of bananas and chill for 2 hours.

Drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with chopped pecans and cherries if desired. Divine!
