a delicious banana pudding that wowed my boyfriend and friends The recipe, shared on The New York Times is inspired by a banana pudding that Meghan's grandmother used to make "Grandma Jeanette would have used instant," Meghan told the Times as she whipped up the homemade vanilla pudding for the base Meghan's recipe offers a few twists on the classic Southern dessert She adds strawberries macerated with lemon zest and juice and opts for finely crushed vanilla wafers instead of the whole cookies "I know some people will be upset that I took out the wafers but I like them crumbled on top," she added The pudding needs to chill for at least two hours but you can keep it in the fridge for up to two days before serving I began by adding the cornstarch and ¼ cup of whole milk into a small bowl I whisked my ingredients together until the mixture was smooth popping the yolks into the saucepan before adding the sugar and 1 ¾ cups of milk Meghan says this step will take about five to seven minutes You'll know it's ready when the pudding starts to bubble I allowed the pudding to boil gently while whisking for another two minutes continuing to mix until the butter had melted Meghan's recipe recommends pressing plastic wrap directly against the surface of the pudding while you allow it to chill I sliced all my strawberries and threw them into a bowl with the tablespoon of sugar The recipe specifies using a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice Meghan recommends tasting the strawberries to see if they need more sugar I added a sprinkle more for extra sweetness and set the bowl to the side for 30 minutes allows the strawberries to soften and sweeten — just make sure to keep them at room temperature I added the heavy cream to a bowl and whisked until soft peaks formed Meghan says you can do this by hand or with an electric mixer then continued to whisk until medium peaks formed in the whipped cream making sure to spread the pudding so the bottom was covered in every glass The recipe says you should use about two-thirds of the strawberries for this step I topped each serving cup with the remaining strawberries sprinkled on some crumbs from my vanilla wafers The bright bursts of color from the strawberries and mint garnish give the dessert a cheerful feel and the overall presentation is quite elegant It's a dessert that would fit right in at a fancy brunch but doesn't require expensive ingredients and the macerated strawberries give a pop of zing to add depth and interest I ended up topping mine with more cookie crumbs and might try this again with a few whole wafers for extra crunch I was really impressed with Meghan's dessert If you're looking for a recipe that will make your mom feel special on Mother's Day Meghan's Chantilly Lili definitely takes the cake — or should I say pudding And if you're looking for more inspiration, try Ina Garten's easy breakfast cake (my mom's personal favorite). I tried the sippable version of everyone's favorite grocery-store dessert. (TikTok agrees.) I recently had one for my birthday earlier this year and was reminded why this cake has such a huge following and its latest iteration of the viral dessert came in coffee form this April I had to try the berry chantilly latte for myself and see how it compared to the beloved cake As the sign at the coffee bar reads, “Now you can have your cake — and drink it too.” To make the berry chantilly latte, Whole Foods mixes espresso with strawberry and almond flavored syrups and your choice of milk You can get the latte iced or hot in Whole Foods’ regular size for $4.75 or large for $5.25 It’s actually really yummy.” The berry chantilly latte is available at all Whole Foods locations with a coffee bar nationwide through July 1 I headed to my nearest Whole Foods with a coffee bar and patiently waited in line to get my morning dessert-inspired coffee. At this location, the menu didn’t list the berry chantilly latte, nor was there a sign by the register advertising it, but after asking my barista I ordered an iced berry chantilly latte with almond milk to amp up the almond flavor. Eagerly, I took a sip. The first thing that hit me was the espresso (I’m not sure if that’s how bitter Whole Foods’ standard espresso is or if it was just my location.) I didn’t get any of the berry chantilly flavor at first so I stirred it up and then took another sip That’s when the berry chantilly flavor kicked in, and it didn’t disappoint. There’s a subtle sweetness and a hint of almond flavor mixed with the espresso, followed by berry notes. I was surprised at how spot-on the strawberry flavor tasted. Nothing artificial — it tastes exactly like the fresh fruit While I typically like my coffee in latte form I normally don’t go for fruity flavors so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it it isn’t overly sweet and has layers of flavor I could have done with a tiny bit more of that chantilly mascarpone frosting flavor (if anyone at Whole Foods is reading this) I’d happily get it again and love that I can sip cake for breakfast — at least for the foreseeable future Find it in stores: Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Latte starting at $4.75 for 16 ouncesHave you tried the Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Latte Sign up for The Weekly Checkout to get the most up-to-date grocery news By subscribing, you acknowledge and agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy Read the commentsFiled in:Product ReviewShoppingThe KitchnThe wordmark and logotype for the Kitchn brand.More From Us By subscribing, you acknowledge and agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
