Moon Pies

Lent is almost upon us, and it is time once again for MOON PIES, sent to us from S's mother in Alabama. Apparently, moon pies are a big southern Mardi Gras thing. Moon Pies. Mardi Gras. Who woulda guessed?

Anyway, here is a recipe she sent along for a moon pie dessert, just in time for Fat Tuesday:

Moon Pie Bienville Dessert

1 large box Instant vanilla or French vanilla pudding made with ½ cup less milk than called for in recipe on box

 1 can sweetened condensed milk

 ¼ cup sour cream (can do without, but it does add a bit of tang)

 1 12 oz. container whipped topping - thawed

 1 tsp vanilla

 6-7 bananas, sliced

 12 Moon pies, broken or sliced into bite size pieces

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Mix prepared pudding, condensed milk, and sour cream.

Fold in whipped topping.

Place moon pie pieces in bottom of 9 by 13 dish.

Top with banana slices.

Top with pudding mixture.

 Chill three hours or overnight.

(Optional: top with more pieces or quarters or halves of moon pies or chocolate chips or any decorations)
