Notes

Ideas for swaps –

  • PUDDING: SWITCH OUT BANANA PUDDING FOR VANILLA PUDDING FOR A MILDER BANANA PUDDING FLAVOR
  • WHIPPED TOPPING: INSTEAD OF COOL WHIP (OR WHIPPED TOPPING) WHIP UP 2 CUPS OF HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM WITH A FEW TABLESPOONS OF SUGAR UNTIL YOU GET STIFF PEAKS AND USE THAT IN PLACE OF COOL WHIP. IT’S SO GOOD!
  • POUND CAKE: I USE SARA LEE FROZEN POUND CAKE, BUT YOU COULD USE A POUND CAKE FROM THE BAKERY, OR EVEN MAKE YOUR OWN! TASTEFULLY SIMPLE HAS A REALLY GOOD POUND CAKE MIX THAT I LIKE TO USE TOO!
