Banana Cream Brownie Squares (Shortcut Version)
I think I’ve mentioned that I used to sell Pampered Chef, where the recipes were adapted to make in front of a live audience to sell the product (the cookbooks have an index by product, no kidding!). This past Easter, my mom and sister requested that I make one of the desserts I used to make quite a bit from the Pampered Chef Casual Cooking cookbook.
Today I’m going to share the original recipe, which I’ll call the shortcut version. I made it dozens of times and it turns out great. However, you’ll notice that it’s primarily boxed ingredients. Over the next couple of days I’ll share how I tried to adapt it for a more “from-scratch” experience, which is the version I actually made for Easter. Think they’ll notice?
Ingredients:
- 3/4 C peanuts, chopped, divided
- 1 pkg brownie mix (15-17 oz; plus ingredients to make the brownies)
- 3 medium bananas, divided
- 1 pkg (5.1 oz) vanilla instant pudding and pie filling
- 1 1/4 C cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
- 12 strawberries
- chocolate curls (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions; stir in1/2 of the chopped peanuts; pour into 8×8 pan and bake according to package directions. Cool completely or overnight.
- Slice two of the bananas and place in a single layer over the cooked and cooled brownies. In a medium bowl, whisk pudding mix and milk until it just begins to thicken. Gently fold in 2 1/2 C of the whipped topping and spread over bananas. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle remaining peanuts over the pudding mixture. Garnish with the leftover whipped topping (if you have a decorator tube it works great), sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, and chocolate curls.
