MOMS EASY BANANA PUDDING



Moms Easy Banana Pudding image

This was one of our favorite desserts my mom would make on the holidays or whenever we asked for it. All my brothers and sisters make it the same way for our families. My husband doesn't want it made any other way. I've tried a homemade version but, my family lets me know they want their grandma's.

Tips:

  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set properly.
  • Serve the pudding with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include whipped cream, sliced bananas, vanilla wafers, and chopped nuts.
