RASPBERRY GREEK YOGURT PUDDING

This yumminess is from Dawn Russell at the Today Show. For this yummy (and simple) recipe, Dawn wrote, "Sarah Smart is the wife of a teacher at Eton College, an all-boys boarding school in England. All the boys, including my son, asked to go to the Smart house for this dessert.

"When the frozen fruit defrosts, the lovely liquid goes to the bottom of the dish making dessert moist and sweet. It's such a great treat because it's super quick to prepare, it doesn't have loads of sugar and Greek yogurt is a fantastic probiotic."

Prep Time: 10 minutes; Servings: 4

PUMPKIN PUDDING

I realize that this recipe (which comes from the January 2005 issue of Vegetarian Times) is perfect for autumn, with an abundance of pumpkin recipes, but it’s still yummy enough to have year ‘round.

This recipe begins, “The holidays are fading fast, but that doesn’t mean that the season’s favorites—pumpkins and cranberries—have to go with them. This easy-to-assemble pudding is just as good warm or chilled.” Serves 6 in 30 minutes or less.

2 cups vanilla soymilk

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/4 cup instant tapioca pearls

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar, or to taste

Pinch of salt

1 15-oz. can pumpkin purée

2 cups mixed dried fruits, including cranberries, raisins and apples

1 cup toasted pecan halves, as garnish, optional

Directions

Put 1-1/2 cups soymilk and vanilla extract into saucepan, and stir in tapioca pearls. Stir remaining 1/2 cup soymilk with cornstarch, and, when well mixed, stir cornstarch mixture into tapioca mixture. Let sit 5 minutes.

Heat soymilk mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until pudding begins to thicken, about 7 minutes. Whisk in sugar and salt, stirring to remove any lumps.

Stir in pumpkin purée and dried fruit. Continue cooking and stirring 2 minutes more. Remove from heat, and spoon into heatproof serving bowl. Serve warm, or refrigerate.

To serve, garnish with toasted pecans, if using.

MAGNOLIA BAKERY'S BANANA PUDDING

This yumminess is from Magnolia Bakery and adapted by Priya Krishna at The New York Times cooking enewsletter. For this recipe, Priya wrote, "To many, the banana pudding at the famed New York shop Magnolia Bakery is even more iconic than the store’s beloved cupcakes. Airy, creamy and delightfully reminiscent of childhood packaged snacks (thanks to instant vanilla pudding mix), this dessert is both a crowd pleaser and easy to assemble. If you’re making 12 individual servings rather than one large one, you’ll have enough cookies to use two per layer. If you prefer more coverage, make only two layers and use three cookies per layer."

Total Time: 30 minutes, plus at least 5 hours' chilling; Yield: 12 to 16 servings

This was featured in "The Power of Instant Pudding Mix," and can be viewed online at https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023785-magnolia-bakerys-banana-pudding. While you're at it, if you haven't already signed up for The New York Times cooking enewsletter, I highly recommend doing so. Great recipes, guides, and more.

Ingredients

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1-1/2 cups ice-cold water

1 (3.4-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

3 cups cold heavy cream

1 (11-ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla)

4 to 5 ripe bananas, sliced

Preparation

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the condensed milk and water on low speed until blended, then increase the speed to medium and whisk until well combined, about 1 minute. Add the instant pudding mix and beat until there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.

Using the stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream on medium speed for about 1 minute, until the cream starts to thicken, then increase the speed to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

With the mixer running on low speed, add the pudding mixture a spoonful at a time. Mix until well blended and no streaks of pudding remain.

To assemble, set aside 4 to 5 cookies, whole or crumbled, for garnish. In a 4- to 5-quart trifle bowl or a wide glass bowl (or in 12 8-ounce bowls or ramekins), spread one-quarter of the pudding over the bottom and layer with one-third of the cookies and one-third of the sliced bananas (enough to cover the layer). Repeat the layering twice more. End with a final layer of pudding.

Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Cookies should be tender when poked with a knife. This dessert is best served within 12 hours of assembling. To serve, garnish the top with the reserved cookies or cookie crumbs.

BREAD PUDDING

This is from that infamous long-since-forgotten-emailing-list.

Ingredients

2 cups milk

4 cups cubed or torn stale bread

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 to 1/2 cup raisins

Heat the milk just until scalded.

Place bread cubes in a bowl; pour hot milk over bread. Cool. Add the sugar, salt, nutmeg or cinnamon, eggs, and raisins. Pour mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish.
