First time making soul food for dinner, I loved it 🤤 Fried chicken and corn bread recipe from @Toni Chapman Mac and cheese recipe is already up on my page! Yams: 3 large sweet potatoes seasoned heavily with cinnamon 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter 1.5 cups dark brown sugar 1 tbsp cinnamon Grated nutmeg 1 tbsp Vanilla bean paste pinch of salt Baked at 400 degrees for 60-90 mins varying by thickness of sweet potatoes Brown butter roasted banana pudding: Custard- 3 roasted bananas 6 large egg yolks 2 cans evaporated milk 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup cornstarch 1 vanilla bean pod pinch of salt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter + 1 tbsp whole milk powder (browned) -Cream cheese 1 cup sweetened condensed milk 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste Whipped cream: 2 cups HWC 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste pinch of salt 1 bag vanilla wafers Instructions: Roast 3 bananas at 350 for 20 mins or until fully brown and soft. Blend half a can of evaporated milk with bananas and add with additional 1.5 cans of evaporated milk, and 1 vanilla bean pod (paste or extract work too) to a saucepan and heat over medium low heat. In a bowl whisk yolks, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Temper the mixture slowly to avoid scrambling, sift custard back into saucepan, and cook until thickened. Once thickened add in brown butter, sift back into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (touching the custard), and allow to cool fully. Mix cream cheese, condensed milk, vanilla paste and salt until smooth, then add and fold into cold custard. Fold in whipped cream and reserve a portion to add top layer. Add in wafers, and finish with more cookies. Let sit in fridge a minimum of 6 hours, preferably 12+. #friedchicken #collardgreens #macandcheeserecipe #macandcheese #bananapudding - @citlallygonzalez
