Banana pudding is a classic American dessert. It is layered like a trifle and usually features vanilla pudding (custard), “nilla wafers” (a famous cookie here), bananas and whipped cream. Definitely a nostalgic childhood favorite most people!
I have been looking for a recipe to try it cuz it not available where i live, it sounds and look delicious, i feel like the combination of flavors will not turn bad
@@ichigo9990 if you want the most authentic recipe you should search “soul food banana pudding recipe”. It’s a Black American dessert and that will give you the best recipes if you really want to try it.
@@ichigo9990 you definitely need vanilla wafers (Nilla is a brand,) and instant pudding (like Jello brand.) And bananas. Whipped cream is good; I've seen it done with meringue on top, although I've never tried it. Tbh, I don't usually top it. Just the cookies, pudding, and banana. And let it sit in the fridge till the cookies start to fall apart. You'll have to judge for yourself how soft you want your cookies.
@@MelissaThompson432 My mom used to make it from scratch. She would often put a meringue top and lightly brown it. In the Paula Deen version she uses Pepperidge Farms Chessmen cookies in place of the Nilla wafers. I’m the family weirdo that doesn’t like banana pudding.
Banana pudding is made with vanilla wafers, a type of cookie (biscuit to you), bananas, and you make a custard. Layer the cookies and bananas and put the custard on each layer. Top layer is custard, and many (me included) top with a meringue. It’s a traditional Southern recipe. It’s found at every family gathering, church suppers, and so on. Before holiday meals my family begins calling me asking if I’m bringing the banana pudding.
There's something really joyful about watching Grace absolutely FLIP OUT over things I take completely for granted as a New Yorker. ETA: I think the film you're thinking of with the rink is Serendipity and, yes, I think that was Wollman Rink in the film. ETA 2: No, Grace. You don't want to go to Fordham. Or Poughkeepsie. ETA 3: LAST ONE I SWEAR I'VE NOW FINISHED WATCHING. I realize this isn't helpful as you're back in England now, but in case you remember for next time! On the Grace Booth Food Tourism front: maybe next time try to do fewer US national chains and more NYC-specific places? I'd recommend checking out Kalustyan's on 28th and Lex, which is a spice specialty store which has absolutely EVERYTHING. You can find any international/difficult to find spice there, and it's good for travel because obviously spices are dried and come in small packets. Also, Economy Candy on Rivington between Essex and Ludlow has really amazing/unusual sweets which seems right up your alley. I'm partial to their homemade Turkish Delight, but I've heard from halvah lovers that they also do that well! Also maybe instead of Chick-Fil-A try getting a good Halal Chicken Dinner! And there are some very good dim sum places in Chinatown!
@@silvershoes9724 you don't have to be Muslim to enjoy halal food! I'm assuming many good chicken places in NYC that Mary knows about also tend to be halal. nothing wrong with halal.
@@keevy7678 Halal is unfortunately more cruel than regular meat - animals have their throats slit and are left to bleed out whilst they’re alive. I appreciate that this is religious practice for a lot of people but it’s not something to be encouraged if it’s not a necessity for religious purposes.
As a native New Yorker, it was refreshing to see New York through your eyes. I love that you called them hashtag and lattice fries lol… magnolias banana pudding is to die for. My company did the security for summit OVA and I got to go when it was empty. Wonderful experience! Also the Chick-fil-A Cobb salad is amazing!! I’m so happy you had an authentic NYC bagel. So many wonderful things.
I’m glad they’re not, I spend way too much time on here as it is and I like variety anyway, so as I scale down my viewing I’ll be happy I have only Grace and a couple of other channels to watch ☺️. Actually, there’s a channel by twin sisters who are just as wholesome as Grace, I’ll get the link n come back and post it, I think you’ll like their channel
Incase no one else answered- I think you’re thinking of Serendipity;) but you weren’t too far off with Sleepless in Seattle, they meet on the Empire State Building at the end!
Serendipity is the movie you might have been thinking of. When I visited NYC, I went to the Serendipity Cafe that was featured in the film. Loved Bryant Park and visited only gift shops for condensed versions of museums and tourist sites.
St Pancras is nice, but you have to go upstairs to see the older parts that aren't covered by modern materials and shops. Also, check out the front façade (which is now a hotel).
Bryant Park (no square in the name) is a little different right before Christmas when it has the full winter village and then again in the summer when it has a giant movie screen. It is super popular in the summer when the lawn is open and you see thousands of people from all the offices surrounding it out and about.
Oh Grack, how fun. You were in my old hood where I worked for 14 years. Between Rock Center and Moma. The Moma store is amazing. Banana Pud the best but yes you should have gotten a cupcake too. Enjoy and thank you for sharing.
Glad you had a good time here! Your next visit you can branch out to some of the cool destinations in the other boroughs - every one has something great to see!
Poughkeepsie is the last stop on the metro north. Used to take it back and forth to culinary school upstate while visiting family in the city/ the suburbs
Ahhh missed opp but go to Top Of The Rock at 30 Rock!!! I love the Empire State Building but you're so right, being able to see it from up there is amazing.
I love NYC ❤ did ye do Whispering Corner in Grand Central.? It consists of 4 small arches, you stand facing into opposite corners and whisper to each other. It's really cool..
It’s so funny how differently we see places when we’re from somewhere else. I’m American and while it was cool and memorable the first time I saw Grand Central, I was awestruck when I visited King’s Cross. Partly because I’m a Harry Potter nerd lol but I thought London was so beautiful and charming in general compared to cities in the US. Although Edinburgh was my favorite and I really enjoyed getting to revisit it in your recent video 🥰
hope you at least got to see Starry Night at the MoMA! that was the only reason I went there when I visited NYC lol, definitely agree that the Met is more exciting overall
I'm pretty sure the movie you're thinking about that had scenes in central station, well, the movie that comes to my mind, is Madagascar, when the Zebra escapes and all the police officers come and surround them? and then the penguins and chimpanzees all crowd around the station as well?? idk but that's what comes to mind HAHAH
Ahh this video couldn't have come at a better time, definitely will have to add all of these to the list for when we go!! Does anyone know how far in advance tickets to the vanderbilt need to be booked?
@@jonap5740 the grilled chicken sandwich actually doesn’t have a lot of any of that. It has a good amount of fat (which is a required part of a healthy diet). Doesn’t have a lot of sugar. Doesn’t have a ton of salt. And it stated by dietitians that it is a healthy choice.
Grackle is living her life while we're all couch potatoes watching her like we're on vacation too. Ngl I prefer watching Grack on vacation rather than going on one myself.

The film you were thinking of is Serendipity!
getting home to a new grace video ☺️ best feeling ever
Aww Grace seeing that breakfast gave me strong feels to wanna travel 😩 I haven't been abroad in SO LONG I NEEEEEED a holiday!!
Wow, the Vanderbilt experience looked amazing. Definitely putting that on my list if I ever get back to NY.
I believe the rom com film you’re talking about at the ice rink is Serendipity!
I'm so glad to see you're feeling better and got to visit some lovely spots.
A few of your Christmas vids are showing up in my feed. Off to watch your Christmas videos 🎄It’s almost time!
Its funny how you relate all the food places to movies you've seen.Glad your having fun, good memories to have with your mom.
Incase no one else answered- I think you’re thinking of Serendipity;) but you weren’t too far off with Sleepless in Seattle, they meet on the Empire State Building at the end!
when you call the subway the metro!!!! so cute

Only good thing about Mondays is knowing ill get a grack video in the evening 💜

We love the ice rink at Bryant Park. So fun with all the food vendors.
Been waiting for this..!!! So early 😳🥳😍
Thank you for showcasing the city with style and class ☺
just had to pause it to say how amazing you look in that outfit at the start!
Judging something based upon whether you'd queue for it is the most British thing I've ever witnessed
Oh Grack, how fun. You were in my old hood where I worked for 14 years. Between Rock Center and Moma. The Moma store is amazing. Banana Pud the best but yes you should have gotten a cupcake too. Enjoy and thank you for sharing.

the "wow LOOK AT THE ICE FORMATION" really took me out hahahahahah
I’m going to NYC next year and I’m actually so excited watching these videos!
I watched every single one of them
that film you referenced, with the ice rink, its serendipity!! :)
Serendipity!!!the most wonderful film that lets you believe in fate!! XX
The movie you were referring to at 6:15, where you said that she meets him on an ice skating area at the end is called Serendipity, it's my fave!!
the movie you're thinking about is called "Serendipity" with Kate Beckinsale....I love that movie....
The cupcakes at magnolia are delicious! I have their cookbooks and recommend !
Grand Central Terminal always makes me thing of the movie Madagascar 😁🦁🦓🦒🐧🐒
Poughkeepsie is the last stop on the metro north. Used to take it back and forth to culinary school upstate while visiting family in the city/ the suburbs
The movie with the ice rink at the end is Serendipity! 💗💗
Can't believe you mentioned the Plazza Hotel and the ice rink and didn't reference Home alone! I know how much you love Christmas!
i named my cat after yours grace ! love you so much
The film you were thinking of where they meet on an ice rink was Serendipity 😊
Serendipity! Best movie 😊
Such a great video... Always love me some Grackle :) Hello from Costa Rica!
Ahhh missed opp but go to Top Of The Rock at 30 Rock!!! I love the Empire State Building but you're so right, being able to see it from up there is amazing.
My husband and I got lucky and were able to go on the London Eye at Sunset.❤❤
Grace your hair look exquisite. Can you please tell what shampoo and conditioner you are using these days. Thank you xx
I now want to visit New York 😍
I love NYC ❤ did ye do Whispering Corner in Grand Central.? It consists of 4 small arches, you stand facing into opposite corners and whisper to each other. It's really cool..
Absolutely love NYC. great vlogs. Film you are thinking of is serendipity
Grace, you should move to NYC for a little bit!! I also gasped when you said you never had French toast before!
Your genuine excitement over things is amazing. Wish you could bottle your enthusiasm and sell it!
For me I was purely excited about taking photos of the plaza because Of home alone 2, and almost famous.
The film was serendipity where they meet on the ice rink 🥰
The movie you were thinking of at Central Park was Serendipity!
Very glade to see you curved any impulse to do a Phoebe run through that slippery Central Park 😳😆☺️😊👍
Ahhh that would have been magic😁 but no you're right, not when it's all icy!
It's Serendipity! the movie where they meet on the ice rink :)
The movie you were referencing is probably serendipity ❤
Grace, have you dyed your hair? in the clip where you're eating french toast it looks blonde and it suits you!
Lovely video thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
Yay for a new video! Are you growing your hair out? xx
Bit random but I think the film your talking about is serendipity!
The movie I believe you’re thinking of is Serendipity with John Cusak and Kate Beckinsale.
I am only sad you missed Levain's cookies! But this video is amazing. Loving it.
“Concrete jungle wet dreams tomatooo” I love cc
I think the movie you were referring to at ~6:30min is Serendipity, starring John Cusak and Kate Beckinsale :)
Is that film you were thinking of Serendipity? The one with Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack? They have a date on an ice rink?👌🏼🙂 ❄️
The film is Serendipity!!!!
It’s so funny how differently we see places when we’re from somewhere else. I’m American and while it was cool and memorable the first time I saw Grand Central, I was awestruck when I visited King’s Cross. Partly because I’m a Harry Potter nerd lol but I thought London was so beautiful and charming in general compared to cities in the US. Although Edinburgh was my favorite and I really enjoyed getting to revisit it in your recent video 🥰
I’m from Edinburgh and absolutely love it when people tell me how much they enjoyed visiting it, like I’m a proud parent!
It’s because it’s centuries old & the US is a quarter of a century old & a grid system
Serendipity!
Please could you share your New York recommendation list? X
The film you were thinking of is Serendipity :)
“Everything’s gone wrong” nyc life in a nutshell lol
hope you at least got to see Starry Night at the MoMA! that was the only reason I went there when I visited NYC lol, definitely agree that the Met is more exciting overall
I'm pretty sure the movie you're thinking about that had scenes in central station, well, the movie that comes to my mind, is Madagascar, when the Zebra escapes and all the police officers come and surround them? and then the penguins and chimpanzees all crowd around the station as well?? idk but that's what comes to mind HAHAH
Beautiful ♥️ It seems you and Mom Grack had fun! Does London look like NY at night?
I think the movie with the ice rink is Serendipity!
Never been so early ! Cant wait to get into it
Serendipity is the film where they meet on an ice rink
Ahh this video couldn't have come at a better time, definitely will have to add all of these to the list for when we go!! Does anyone know how far in advance tickets to the vanderbilt need to be booked?
Yesss Grace! Now I wnana go these places :( xx one day one day
Trust me Grace don’t catch a train in America. I did and it was quite a scary experience there are some real weirdos out there!!
What a day!! You must have been exhausted!
Hashtag fries 😂❤️
Hahaha my friend manages a Chick Fil A in NYC. I just sent him your video
I'm from the south we're very serious about our banana pudding down here..
Thank you much love xx
That is such an American thing to be missing food in your to go order lol welcome to the states
Serendipity is the movie I think haha
The movie you wanted to say with the ice skating rink, Serendipity ?
I think Vienna is a city that you will love too :)
Love your outfit 🥰
I am so sorry that no one told you to get the fries at Balthazar. They are quite possibly the single best thing to eat in NYC. Next time.
6:10 its serendipity 😍
I love that you went to Chick-fil-A for your healthy meal 😂💛😁
There are actually a lot of healthy options at Chick-fil-A. The grilled chicken sandwich for instance is only 380 calories.
@@triscuitbiscuit That doesnt make it healthy! It's got a lot of sugar and salt and fat in it!
