This is the second week that I’ve started off with a dessert recipe, but during Winter, sometimes that’s all you need. And this being my birthday week, it’s even more justified. Banana Cream Pie is something I’ve been dying to try. As I’ve mentioned before, I have quite a fascination with American food and I’ve ventured into it just slightly. We only recently got The Food Network in South Africa and I’ve been kind of hooked on some of those shows. Some, I don’t care for as much but The Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten – I love you!) and Diners, Drive-ins and Dives have been two of my favourites. DDD…

I grabbed it, knowing that it wouldn’t completely satisfy my sweet tooth, but it had to do. I whipped up the batter, got them into the oven in their mini loaf tins and waited patiently. And then I spotted the bananas. I immediately…
Now I know that this is not the type of thing I should be posting on a Monday morning. Especially not a cold and windy Monday Morning, but I just couldn’t resist. Nothing is more heart-warming than a bowl of steaming, sweet chocolate pudding. And if you add a splash of cream, well, that’s just heaven isn’t it? It also helps that this is one of the easiest puddings I’ve ever made in my life.
