The TV show is filmed in Charleston, South Carolina, and Wayans said she fell in love with the food in the city. She admitted that one day, she had trouble getting into her character’s tight-fitting pants. Her favorite of the city’s culinary options is barbecue. Reckless airs Sundays on CBS.

The Talk: Kim Wayans Banana Pudding Recipe Ingredients

Kim said she is the cook of the Wayans family, and she shared her Wayans-Style Banana Pudding Recipe with the co-hosts. She learned it from her mother when she was little, and it is a dessert staple for them at special occasions and holidays.

She stressed that ripe bananas are the key to making sure the end product comes out sweet. “Most people don’t bake theirs. They just have it cold. But that’s not the way we roll,” Kim said.

Instant pudding won’t give you the thickness or richness of cooked pudding. This recipe includes adjustments for people who have dairy and gluten allergies, but you can make your own substitutions as needed.

• 4 boxes Vanilla Pudding (not instant)
• 2 quarts Organic Soy Milk
• 5 ripe Bananas
• 1 box gluten-free Vanilla Wafers
