It’s Dessert Day and Carla Hall is serving up nostalgia in a jar with her Banana Pudding Trifles — creamy pastry cream, fresh banana, and shortbread cookies layered to perfection. As she whisks, folds, and schools the guys on salt (“I call it compliments!”), Clinton and Michael derail into a series of chaotic tangents about Halloween costumes, road rage, and kitchen gadgets they’re ashamed to own.

Michael defends his anti-air-fryer stance, Carla fights for her Samsung phone sponsorship dreams, and Clinton admits he flips people off on the highway. Along the way, they trade cooking wisdom — from tempering eggs to the myth of “sealing in juices” — before Carla reveals her secret ingredient obsession: malted milk powder.

The episode wraps with the reveal of a rare Carla Hall apron giveaway (complete with pink corn fabric), proving once again that in this kitchen, the laughter is as thick as the pudding.
