I made 60 pounds of this very easy to make banana pudding for dessert at a very large benefit we had to help raise money for a dear friend who had cancer. I received tons of compliments from total strangers. I'd be walking by, and hear people asking,"Who made that banana pudding, it was delicious, and the best banana pudding I've ever eaten." It made be proud to be able to help out a friend in need by selling something that helped raise money for him, and his family, and all of it sold out very fast. Try it for yourself, a lot of other people said it sure is Yummy! See if you agree.
