Banana Pudding

Banana pudding is one of our favorite desserts, and is typically made by layering vanilla custard with cookies and sliced bananas. For a super-traditional version, this banana pudding, with a generous topping of fluffy meringue, is one of our go-tos. Classic Nilla Wafers are used here, along with a creamy vanilla pudding and plenty of bananas. Or take this dessert in a completely different direction with this maple-bourbon banana pudding cake, which sounds impressive, yet is deceptively simple. While the cake bakes, a sweet, sticky sauce forms at the bottom of the pan. Maple syrup, pecans, brown sugar and bourbon add incredible flavor, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream will send your dinner guests over the edge. Whether you're a banana pudding purist or like to mix things up, Food & Wine's guide has a recipe for every occasion.

To keep as many ingredients of African origin as possible, he suggests spiking the honey cream with Amarula Cream, an intensely sweet South African liqueur made from the marula fruit—said to be a favorite snack of grazing elephants. More Fruit Desserts
