THL, chocolate pudding from a box. Or butterscotch. Still warm. No whipped cream necessary (though either chilled Cool Whip or Ready Whip in the spray can would always do).

CG- Reminds me of something my grandmother used to make: Ice Box Cake- I recall it just consisting of chocolate pudding , Nabisco Grahams, sliced bananas and whipped cream layered in a baking dish, then put in the fridge to chill before being served. I have heard that this “cake” as well as Ebinger’s Blackout were all the rage in mid -century Brooklyn.
Is Beyong Bad Dave’s BAFF?
YES Cresent!! My dad still raves about Ebinger’s Bakery.
Crescent, I’ve had more modern variations on Iced Box Cake. Still good. (BTW, meant to tell you yesterday, my ornery grandfather lived to be 94.)
Just a quick question…perhaps it was discussed while I was away….is this dandel character a total whackjob, or is it just me…?
Why am I getting myself into this crap after such a great holiday?
Oh yeah, cause it’s fun. 🙂
“I would dump some brandy in the shrooms at high temp and flame them first”
Denton, what if I don’t have brandy, but I have about a tablespoon of cognac leftover from baking. Can I use that instead?
O.k. any of my British friends out there love Bird’s custard as much as I do?
I remember it poured hot over pound cake with banana slices. Incredible!!
“When I was growing up we got canned peas and my mother would cook them until they were gray.”
Ditto. Now THAT’s gross!

Joe, I grew up on pancake syrup. So when I finally got some real maple syrup I didn’t like it. To me, it didn’t taste right.
I’m a cheap date.
