Lemon icing soaked into the top of your pound cake. Oh, hon, haven’t had a good piece of divinity in ages!! My great aunt Bendette made the best at Christmas Eve parties. But my favorite has to be peach cobbler. Now being from Texas you only can serve it with a scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream on top!
Banana pudding is top. But it has the be using real cooked custard, not jello pudding or canned pudding. It must be cooked custard that the chef has stirred constantly on the stove top for at least 15 min, maybe longer. Constantly.
I cant do anything with custard, hate it. Did i just hear cheese and mayo in a desert 😮? Im a big mayo fan. From what ive heard you describe I would fit right in over there. Im from the uk specifically Wales 🏴 and we love any fruit crumble, cheesecake and ice cream based deserts
Banana Pudding is definitely #1 of this list: bananas, egg custard, vanilla wafers. It’s the Southern version of a Charlotte Russe. But, Landon, you omitted the true #1- the 14 layer chocolate cake!
@@kathleengarness1660 , yes! And, to me the best one is the one with multiple layers (some say 7, some say 9, and I have seen as many as 13 layers) that are about as thick as a thin pancake, and are iced with chocolate ganache. Decadent!
The alltime undisputed banana pudding! PS Landon, i don't know if you've got the big head over your locks, but you should have! That 'do is perfected! Cuter than a speckled pup!
Of the ones mentioned, banana pudding is my favorite. But my favorite southern dessert is Mississippi mud cake (not pie, but that's a discussion for another time). My mother-in-law's Mississippi mud cake is legendary at gatherings all around Charleston, SC. It's decadent dessert perfection!
I lived for Christmas ALL YEAR-not for the gifts, but they were epic! No! No! NO! Christmas meant my Aunt Iva would be making Martha Washington Candy. I declare as I am standing here that stuff grows on trees in Heaven! It’s the BEST!
Let's not forget Red Velvet cake, made with oil, not butter (to avoid the chocolate cake flavor). With cream cheese icing and pecans!!! But, Pound Cake is first, Banana Pudding second, Sweet potato third, and the rest I don't have a preference for lol
I'm born and raised in Alabama and you didn't list my two favs... Pe-con pie (😉) and German chocolate cake.... but out of those I like coconut cake and pound cake.... probably the only Southerner that doesn't like banana puddin.... love your channel!
Coconut cake, key lime pie, and pound cake with berries on top. I have led a sheltered life, never having eaten at a covered dish dessert table, but these I have had and take delight in. The influence of the south spreads far!
You must put peach cobbler and maybe even blackberry cobbler on the next one. I mean who hasn't ended up with chiggers from picking blackberries for cobbler at some point in their life. It's worth the suffering.
well banana pudding is number one on this list. but you can't show southern love without cobbler, chocolate merangue pie, or pecan pie, or grandmas home made pumpkin pie. just sayin
My favorite is a fruit cobbler, followed by divinity, but those aren’t on the list. So, pound cake, 2. Key lime pie, 3. Banana pudding, 4. Coconut cake , Sweet potato pie, 5. Pear salad 6. Martha Washingtons 7.chess squares 8. Haystacks 9. Pineapple salad 10. Cornflake candy 11. Congealed salad. Now I’m craving sweets!
Ya speakin my language. I love good ol' Southern desserts. 1) Key Lime Pie 2) Coconut Cake 3) Pound Cake 4) Sweet Potato Pie 5) Banana Pudding I've never had Martha Washingtons, Haystacks, Cornflake Candy or Chess Squares. So I won't rank them. As far as the other three, they're salads not desserts. I've had the pear and pineapple salads, and if concealed salads are like jello salads I've had those too. But if you're talking about the ones that have meats or vegetables in them then that will be a no! 😝 They're ranked at the bottom! You are so right about Key Lime pies should NOT be green. That's just food coloring. I also, want to add that a pie made with Persian lime juice is Not a key lime pie. I've seen so many videos where they call it ley lime that and use regular limes. 🤦♀️ I'm from South Florida and lived near the Keys and till I was 10. My grandmother grew her own key limes and made many a key lime pie with the meringue on top! She had to baby that tree as they're hard to grow but she had a green thumb and could grow anything! She'd juice those tiny limes and put the juice in ice cube trays and freeze it. She knew exactly how many cubes she needed to make one pie so she'd put them in freezer bags after they froze. They were a pain to juice but so worth it! When she made them I couldn't get to her house fast enough! My Mama made them the same way. They were so tart and sweet at the same time! Pure heaven! The tartness of a key lime is like no other! It's so distinct. My grandmother also grew her own coconuts and she made the best coconut cake! When a coconut dropped she ran to get it! She could break into a coconut like it was no one's business! She'd shred that coconut meat and freeze it until she was ready to bake one of those delicious layers of goodness! She usually made those during holidays because they were more labor intensive. I have her recipe and have made one so I know the work that goes into them! But they're so delicious! But they weren't as good as my grandmothers. The love she put into those cakes and pies cannot be replicated. Grandmothers love makes desserts that much sweeter!
I had never heard of cheese squares or cheese pie until I moved to Tennessee 10 years ago. I make banana pudding from scratch to take to events and it’s a favorite. 1) key lime pie 2) cheese squares 3) coconut cake 4) pound cake 5) sweet potato pie 6) haystacks 7) Martha Washington’s 8) cornflake candy 9) pear salad
1. coconut cake 2. key lime pie 3. cobbler. Do you guys make Waldorf salad? Apples, celery, walnuts if you want, mayo w a drop of cream and a little vanilla. Dont forget a pound cake also requires a pound of butter.
While banana pudding is my super power, I would have to say chocolate pie with meringue is the #1 most requested dessert in our family. Even though my mama can't eat the meringue because her brother told her once that it is cow slobber.
Sweet potato pie is #1, nanner puddin' is #2, then blackberry cobbler is #3, pound cake is #4. Key lime is in the middle and pear salad is dead last, my parents love it but I don't. Most of resr are in the middle.
My mother in law makes the best five flavor pound cake. It is heaven on a fork!! I don’t know if that or key lime pie should make the top dessert. My gracious, I need some help! 💜
Definitely pound cake at the top of the list. Strawberry shortcake is just, I dunno, not wrong but certainly "less than" unless you use pound cake for the shortcake. Mainly because pound cake is flour, sugar, eggs and BUTTER. Need I say more. Up next would be banana pudding. Mmmmm good. I made apple crisp once for my kids - the eldest asked what it was and I do not know what possessed me to say (trying to be funny) I said "bunny guts." She was about 6 at the time and to this day will not eat apple crisp. Apparently it wasn't as funny as I thought. But I do love a good dump cake - essentially a cobbler but way easy.
Banana Pudding is the top one by far. However, the only banana pudding that counts is one topped with meringue, not with whipped topping and must have Nilla Wafers - not the store brand because folks I know can tell if you used the store brand vanilla wafers and will talk about you for months. Butter pound cake is a very close second with a touch of mace added in the batter before baking. (Mace is imperative to making a great Kentucky pound cake.
From that list, I'd have to say pound cake, then sweet tater pie, with HOMEMADE whipped cream! Which I make. Can't make a pie to save my life, tho! 😂 Never made homemade pound cake, for that matter, either, but probably could, if I were so inclined to do so. I bake every Thanksgiving and Christmas. #3 would be banana pudding. Now, I know this is pure Blasphemy, being from Georgia, but I'm not fond of peaches, but I love me some peach cobbler! Weird, I know! I love fresh picked blackberries and cream and blackberry cobbler, too. By the way, my dad was from Meridian, MS and I have parts of my family that was from the Laurel area. Not sure if anyone still lives in the the area anymore or not. They are more distant relatives (I do genealogy research). But whenever I watch Ben and Erin's show I always watch for names I recognize from my family. 😁
1. Key Lime Pie. 2. Sweet Potatoe Pie 3. Pound Cake 4. Banana Puddin 5. Martha Washington 6. Hay stacks.7. A tbsp. Of each remaining for a sample of future likes!! Can't wait to see what others choose. ❤😊
@@terribowles5085 it’s really just a thin darker chocolate sauce, it’s delicious on homemade biscuits or a white cake, or really just about anything!! ❤️
Lemon icing soaked into the top of your pound cake.
Oh, hon, haven’t had a good piece of divinity in ages!! My great aunt Bendette made the best at Christmas Eve parties.

"How can you eat so many sweets!?"
-she screamed in Los Angeles

I'm in for anything chocolate!!

Landon could play Jesus in the Easter play up here at the Baptist Church with the graveyard beside it …up on the big highway …😁😁😁
Banana Pudding ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My favorite local meat and three diner has banana pudding as a vegetable (a side) and that is why I want to go to there.
Martha Washington, Pear Salad , Haystacks
I lived for Christmas ALL YEAR-not for the gifts, but they were epic! No! No! NO! Christmas meant my Aunt Iva would be making Martha Washington Candy. I declare as I am standing here that stuff grows on trees in Heaven! It’s the BEST!
We missed Lemon Ice Box pie and. STRAWBERRY PRETZEL SALAD! Oh Dear Lord!!!!!!
Banana pudding, haystacks my top two favorites from the list
Divinity, banana puddin', pound cake, chess squares, key lime pie, coconut cake, haystacks, cornflake candy, fruit cobbler

Haystacks

Agreed about the omission of pecan (or any other) pie, but my suspicion is that pie will be a whole 'nother category.
Can't wait!
@@gmubbo 😄
Banana pudding, coconut cake, key lime pie, sweet potato pie, the rest are all a toss up. I'm here for the banana pudding!!!!
Specifically Antoni Porowski's Kansas City Coconut Sheet Cake is the very best!
Banana pudding! That is all.
My Mama’s banana pudding, chocolate chess pie, lemon icebox pie, pralines, divinity, fudge, sweet potato pie-my list is extensive. Can’t pick a favorite.
Coconut cake, key lime pie, and pound cake with berries on top. I have led a sheltered life, never having eaten at a covered dish dessert table, but these I have had and take delight in. The influence of the south spreads far!
Whaaat? Never eaten from a covered dish table?!?! Well, I never in all my born days!
1. Key lime pie

Of course peach cobbler....and a close next is a beautiful white Coconut Cake , made without shortcuts. Gramma Nancy would make one every Christmas.
You must put peach cobbler and maybe even blackberry cobbler on the next one. I mean who hasn't ended up with chiggers from picking blackberries for cobbler at some point in their life. It's worth the suffering.
amen
Key lime pie!

Hands down banana pudding!

I’ll go with you ranking. You did great. I do have to wonder about where would you rank the chocolate cake. But that could be a whole vlog on its own.
Pound cake is at the top
1. coconut cake 2. key lime pie 3. cobbler. Do you guys make Waldorf salad? Apples, celery, walnuts if you want, mayo w a drop of cream and a little vanilla. Dont forget a pound cake also requires a pound of butter.
1) pound cake (bonus points for strawberries & whipped cream)
2) key lime pie
3) peach cobbler
4) manner pudding (would be #1 but I’m now allergic 😢)
5) coconut cake
6) chess squares (lemon bars)
Um, banana pudding is hands down the #1 southern dessert. However it has to be the one with the custard and cooked meringue on top. 👏😋
While banana pudding is my super power, I would have to say chocolate pie with meringue is the #1 most requested dessert in our family. Even though my mama can't eat the meringue because her brother told her once that it is cow slobber.
It’s hard to choose between pound cake and sweet potato pie. But I have to go with pound cake. It’s so versatile and delicious 🤤
1. Key lime pie
Pies next!!!
What about a chocolate or coconut pie?
Sweet potato pie is #1, nanner puddin' is #2, then blackberry cobbler is #3, pound cake is #4. Key lime is in the middle and pear salad is dead last, my parents love it but I don't. Most of resr are in the middle.

Anybody know where Pineapple Casserole would fall in? It’s too sweet to be on the big table, but too savory to fall in the dessert/“salads” table.
Banana Puddling is #1. You have to have the right recipe (its a family secret!)
Key lime pie #1!!!
Banana Pudding is the top one by far.

What is circulate gravy? I'm curious.
@@terribowles5085 it’s really just a thin darker chocolate sauce, it’s delicious on homemade biscuits or a white cake, or really just about anything!! ❤️
oh lordy ive never had chocolate gravy on anything but butyered biscuits. im going to have to try that!
you left out Rhubarb.... ok banana pudding. if the pudding is scratch made with eggs and milk. I have strawberries macerating as I type this.
pineapple + mayo + cheeese?(!)
Why do so many southern dessert include coconut? 🥥
You forgot pecan pie!
