I also did the microwave - fast and easy! I put it all in an 8 x 8 pan. Delicious! -
YUM! I used the microwave method and it turned out perfect! I had to make some minor changes due to ingredients on hand, but it was just amazing! I only had over ripened bananas I was going to use for banana bread but I just had to try your recipe. I made sure they were mashed/pureed well and added them to the final custard right before spooning the custard into serving dishes. I bought Swedish ginger snaps that had a great lingering spice to them but I had used them in another recipe and only had a handful left. I considered making a crust, but I didn't have enough so I crushed them and sprinkled over each custard. I only had 1/2 cup of milk so I used fat free half and half. I also added a bit more rum for personal taste. And I had to use Bacardi Gold because I was out of dark rum. Whew! A lot of minor subs but I otherwise followed your measurements and it was fantastic and incredibly easy! -
This recipe caught my eye because of the ingredients...namely rum and ginger snaps. It is a delicious twist on banana pudding and very easy to make. I used the microwave method and it couldn't have been simpler. Actually, we did not get to eat this for several days and the cookies had softened up by then. I also had to use light rum since it was all we had. I am going to make this again with dark rum and not wait so long to eat it so the cookies still have some crunch.
