southern banana pudding
I love love love banana pudding. It is my all-time favorite Southern dessert. Eating it warm, right after I make it is the absolute best. It is really easy and quick to make. I've tried other recipes that try to cut corners but, in my opinion, this is the best recipe. Yummmmm!!!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
There is nothing more Southern than a rich and creamy banana pudding. Most Southerners have memories of their mother or grandmother standing at the stove and stirring a pudding until it thickens. This from-scratch banana pudding is perfectly sweet and creamy. That with the layers of banana and vanilla wafers is the ultimate comfort dessert. Enjoy this warm or cooled... it's delicious both ways.
