This weekend, we witnessed and tested the culinary prowess of one Miles Nathan Klinge!!
He made an entire dessert - unassisted.
What dessert you ask? Ah yes!
He created a beautiful banana pudding pie!
Miles has repeatedly proven his love for baking and even for making pies. However, the first few pies he tasted proved lack luster to his sensitive palate causing him to avoid all pies, regardless of flavor.
I was on a mission to change this… and at the same time give him more responsibility with a cooking project.
Here’s what he did – wish I would have taken progress pictures, but I forgot!!
Miles was given a box of instant banana pudding and a premeasured volume of ice cold milk.
He opened all packages and mixed everything with a whisk on his own!! I only helped at the very end to remove remaining lumps.
Miles peeled and sliced two bananas with a butter knife and spread them in a graham cracker crust.
All I did was “start” the peel at the top.
Miles poured and spread the pudding to cover the bananas.
I only provided assistance by holding the large bowl and helping to scrape out the last bit of pudding.
After an hour of refrigeration, he repeated the pour/spread maneuver with cool whip!
Once dinner was complete, he was SUPER excited to taste his creation.
This is where I remembered to photo document. :)
Dip finger and taste.....mmmm! That's not so bad!
Dig right in!!
Savor and appreciate it's delightful texture and balance.
It's REALLY good! Do you want some?
How did you celebrate Super Bowl weekend?
