ISO: ISO recipe for banana and cream rio frio style

[oli]

At a Mexican here in West Hollywood is a banana pudding with a blend of three creams, that is to die for. This is the way it listed on their menu 'bananas and cream rio frio style - bananas covered with a blend of three creams'

 

[cheezz]

probably whipping cream, crema fresca and ??? What is under the cream besides bananas?

 

[oli]

its just got sliced bananas mixed in like a banana pudding

oli, This may be a stretch but could it be Horhata - Here is a recipe for Banana Pudding using it

Typo - Horchata

This reminded me of Tres Leches Cake, another Mexican recipe.

The creams used in Tres Leches Cake are whipping cream, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk. These are mixed to make a thick syrup to pour over the cake. Perhaps this recipe uses these same creams. If you try to duplicate it, you probably would need to add vanilla or another extract to flavor the creams.

GayR, no wafers. this is very much like pudding, but much better

 

[oli]

Worth a try, should not be too costly to practice with

Is it a thin or heavy sauce? Here is my favorite Tres Leches Cake recipe... the sauce is thin

as it's meant to soak into the cake. But if you whipped the cream stiff then folded in the other ingredients, it should be a wonderful topping.

This is not a cake, its a pudding with bananas and a hint of alcohol or extract

 

[cheezz]

No, I mean the Tres Leches Cake SAUCE might be good on top of the banana pudding.

 

[oli]

That would be taking it over the top, if you ever try it you will see that it is perfect as is

 

[cheezz]

oh! I thought you were trying to figure out the 'rio frio' sauce on top of the pudding

I didn't mean for the tres leches sauce to be in ADDITION to this yummy banana pudding, but as a possible recipe for the cream sauce on top of it. Am I missing something? I'll go back and read your original post...

 

[cheezz]

it says "covered with a blend of 3 creams"... the creams are IN the pudding or poured on top?

 

[oli]

the description is deceptive, but its probably blended in.....

it just looks like vanilla pudding or banana pudding or butterscotch, with some fresh sliced bananas. Thats it plain and simple, just a bowl of pudding, but not like anything you've had before, as far as pudding is concerned.
