My family is Southern and one of my best friends is, too. The other day she asked me about a Southern-style banana pudding. Traditionally, it is filled with lady fingers, egg whites, and lots of cream, but this version is cashew cream-based with some lemon zest, maple syrup, and a crumbly almond meal crust layered with fresh banana, trifle-style. It’s hardly a compromise — just delicious.

Alternative Alchemy

Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a saucepan over medium heat, brown the cultured vegan butter; remove from the heat. In a large mixing bowl, loosely combine the melted butter, almond flour, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and almond extract.

Using clean hands, turn out the dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten with your hands into a rustic, flat shape. (You’ll break it apart later so don’t fret about how it looks). Bake for 12 minutes, until it browns at the edges and holds firm and allow the crust to cool.

Make the pudding

In a high-speed blender, blend the cashews with the bananas, lemon juice and zest, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and CBD oil. Blend on high for 2 minutes, then scrape down the sides and blend for 30 seconds more.

Assemble the CBD banana pudding

Using your hands, crumble up the cooled cookie and start layering the pudding into 9 small glass cups or bowls. Start with a layer of the cookie crust. Top with some banana slices, followed by pudding. Smooth with a spoon before adding another layer of cookie crust followed by more banana (the banana is more to provide texture than for looks, it can be scant or randomly placed) and pudding and then finish off each individual parfait with more cookie crust on top. Enjoy immediately.
