Layering Love: The Secret to Sensational Pudding
It’s all about the layers! Velvety smooth vanilla custard, ripe bananas, and crispy vanilla wafers come together to create a symphony of textures that dance on your taste buds.

The Ultimate Banana Pudding Recipe You Can’t Resist!
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 box vanilla wafers
- Optional: whipped cream for garnish
- Optional: additional banana slices for garnish
Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually stir in milk over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Keep it going for about 2 more minutes, then remove from heat.
In a bowl, beat your eggs. Quickly stir a small amount of hot mixture into eggs to temper them, then whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Heat everything to a gentle boil, and don’t stop stirring for another minute to avoid scrambled egg disaster!
Remove the custard from heat and stir in that splash of vanilla for an extra cozy aroma. Let your custard cool slightly, then get ready for the fun part—layering!
Grab your favorite serving dish—it could be a classic trifle bowl or individual cups for that personalized touch. Start your layering symphony with vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of banana slices, and pour a generous amount of the custard over the top. Continue these steps, wafers-bananas-custard, until all your ingredients are nestled in snugly.
If you’re in the no-wait team, dig in now, or chill your pudding in the fridge for 3 hours to let those flavors really meld. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a few banana slices on top for an Instagram-worthy finish.
Serve this easy, irresistible banana pudding at your next family gathering, picnic, or just because you deserve a spoonful of joy. Watch as it disappears faster than you can say ‘seconds, please!’
