Banana Pudding




I don't know where I got this recipe but thank God for them who make it.It is great!!!



Banana pudding is a very simple, homey, and classic Southern dessert. There are really only two ways to make it -- the right way and the wrong way. There's no futzing with the ingredients or the preparation. Futz, and you have something different.
  • The right way: make a simple, homemade pudding on the stove top.
  • The wrong way: make instant pudding.
  • The right way: keep your pudding vanilla flavored. No squished bananas, no spices, no nothin'.
  • The wrong way: make banana flavored, or any other flavored pudding.
  • The right way: use ripe, but not overly ripe, sliced bananas
  • The wrong way: use green or overly ripe bananas that you've squished, chopped, or cooked.
  • The right way: use Nilla Wafers.
  • The wrong way: use homemade or any store bought cookie other than a Nilla Wafer.
  • The right way: alternately layer the three main components - cookies, bananas, pudding in that order. Repeat if necessary.
  • The wrong way: not getting at least one layer of bananas and cookies underneath the pudding.
