[@katheedenny1982]

My mom used the original banana pudding recipe on the side of Nilla Wafer box, which is basically what you did. Therefore, I do like my mom and never use the instant stuff for banana pudding. It is worth the effort to cook your pudding. Collard Valley Cook shows you how to make it in the microwave. I've done that, but still prefer stovetop.

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

Thanks for watching! I like the instant too but prefer cooking it myself. 😊

[@Sam48025]

Made this for thanksgiving and it was SOOOO good. My sister and I's first time making banana pudding from scratch and it turned out lovely. When whisking the pudding, some of the sugar started to stick just before burning but we caught it and it actually gave the pudding a more rich flavor. Used evaporated milk, a bit of banana extract, and split the pudding into multiple neat layers (nilla wafers, banana slices, pudding, cool whip, crushed chessman cookies, and then homemade caramel sauce recipe from Mr. Make it happen channel, repeated x2). For the last layer, made homemade whipped topping instead of cool whip using heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and hand mixer. Did not end up making the meringue but will try it next time. Also, used all-purpose flour because its what we hand on hand. This was amazing and now I can't stop thinking about it. Got many raving reviews from family, thank you!!

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

Sounds delicious! So glad you enjoyed and had a wonderful holiday 😋

[@katheedenny1982]

About 10 years ago I got the idea to mix my bananas in with my pudding. Lay down your wafers, put your bananas and pudding down. I can have banana pudding leftover for the next day and my bananas have not turned brown because they are covered with the pudding. Does better than pouring lemon juice over the bananas to me.

Hello I have a question. Are you saying that if I leave it on the heat it will become thick enough for me to place in a sleeve to squeeze out into a jar? I’ve recently tried and set it in the fridge overnight and it still was loose. Not sure what I did wrong. I used baking soda I will say that because some recipes are saying to use that as well.

The longer you cook the pudding, the thicker it will get. I’ve never cooked it much longer than what I showed in the video so I’m not sure about squeezing it into a jar.
