Banana Marshmallow Creme

An old refrigerator dessert from a handwritten 1930s cookbook from Neligh Ne. I think it could be updated with Cool Whip and marshmallow creme pretty easily but I am writing it as written. Recipe said to use prettiest mold. You need to chill overnight so this can be a make ahead dessert.

• Ready In: 24 hrs 30 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb marshmallows
• 1⁄2 cup  cream, 1/2 & 1/2
• 1⁄2 cup  nuts, chopped
• 1⁄4 cup lemon juice, fresh
• 2  teaspoons lemon rind
• 2  bananas, finely sliced
• 1 1⁄2 cups  whipping cream

Directions

1. Melt the marshmallows and the 1/2 and 1/2 cream over double boiler.
2. Stir until smooth.
3. Add nuts and fresh lemon juice. If you add botted lemon juice here, don't add as much; I think it would overpower this dessert.
4. Add lemon zest and bananas to the mixture.
5. Cool.
6. Beat the whipping cream until stiff; fold into the lemon mixture.
7. Pour into mold and chill until firm.
