Sometimes a kitchen experiment - 10/15/2009 10:32 PM
ends up so good, you have to share the idea. We made this one last night, and the idea just sort of grew from what was in the fridge and pantry. It was our fall spin on Banana Pudding. I'm a dump and pour cook, so some of the ingredients are not exact measures, but it shouldn't matter.
-Ginger Snaps, broken into large pieces
-1 large box vanilla pudding (make per box instructions. I add a little extra vanilla extract, about 1/2 tsp, and 1 small pat of butter to my pudding while cooking.) Cooled
1/2 C heavy whipping cream
-2 whole pears
-Splash of brandy
-1-2 tsps light brown sugar
-dash ground ginger
2 tsp butter
Make pudding according to box directions and cool. Core and slice pears. Melt butter in non stick pan and add the pears, br sugar, and ginger and cook until pears are just heated through, and barely begin to soften. Add brandy and heat through. Remove from heat.
Whip the heavy cream, and fold into the pudding.
Layer into glasses like parfaits, or in a bowl as you would make banana pudding.
