banana magic

Recipe by

This is a rich, decadent, and delightfully sinful twist on traditional banana pudding. I created it purely by accident while preparing an eggless banana cream pie for my friend with dietary restrictions. I use all organic ingredients, as I find the finished result to be superior in flavor, richness, and texture.
