Homemade Banana Pudding

If you haven’t made home made banana pudding you really need to. I’m talking from scratch vanilla pudding, sparkling whipped cream, banana slices, or even from-scratch vanilla wafers if you are feeling ambitious. My original plan changed into to make a recipe that rivaled Magnolia Bakery’s Banana Pudding, however i'm able to thoroughly say this is way higher. 

What i love about this recipe is the way it doesn’t take too long to prep, however then it is able to take a seat inside the fridge overnight and chill. perfect for a cook out, pot good fortune, or other form of communal meals-consuming get collectively. In truth, I assume is even tastier after a day or .

Now i have made the Vanilla Wafers from scratch before, however for this I used the actual vanilla bean ones from trader Joes. I’m no longer a huge fan of the fake-tasting range, so these have been perfect. easy in a pinch, however nearly as correct as the from-scratch ones I’ve made. All in all, a terrific brief recipe this is outstanding and delicious. experience this version whilst you could, possibilities are I’ll be making it again in a 12 months or two.
