Miso Udon Noodles with Spinach and Tofu

  4.0 – 1 reviews  • Asian

When I was wanting banana pudding but was out of the usual Nilla wafers, I made this recipe with graham crackers. Making it in an 8×8-inch pan quickly occurred to me after I understood that graham crackers would make creating nice, even layers a simple. Crackers soften more quickly than wafers, and it tastes wonderful. Every bite of this dessert tastes like all three components thanks to the even layering and addition of the whip cream topping.

LOVED this except for one thing. The honey. Hated the flavor that brought with the rest of the ingredients but with that left out, 5 stars all the way!
