HOMEMADE BANANA

PUDDING

Jump to Recipe

Homemade Banana Pudding is a classic for a

reason! Homemade vanilla pudding layered
with bananas, vanilla wafer cookies and
whipped cream is the ultimate comfort food.

If there were ever a dessert – aside from

cheesecake that I’d say I am obsessed with, it
would be Banana Pudding.

Whether it is homemade, a super simple

version with packaged ingredients, or even
this easy Banana Cream Pie Fluff, I simply
don’t think you can wrong with bananas,
whipped cream and vanilla wafers. It’s pretty
much my favorite flavor combo at the
moment, so you’ll be seeing a few more
banana cream recipes in the coming weeks.

Homemade Banana Pudding is so simple to

make – even from scratch and it can feed a
crowd if you double the recipe for a trifle
dish, which is why it’s ranks as one of my top
5 potluck recipes. But it also keeps pretty well
in the fridge, so if you’re not feeding a crowd,
you can have this as a delicious dessert or
snack throughout the week.

HOMEMADE BANANA
PUDDING
As I said, I love banana pudding. I have made
plenty of banana desserts and yet somehow
it’s hard to beat a classic banana pudding.

There’s just something about the layers of

Nilla wafer cookies, sweet and creamy vanilla
pudding, fresh bananas, and pillowy whipped
cream. I could eat it all day long.

There are lots of ways to make an easy banana

pudding with pudding mix or even Cool
Whip. But sometimes I just want to make a
Homemade Banana Pudding with Homemade
Vanilla Pudding and Homemade Whipped
Cream.

Homemade everything!

Ok, not quite. I don’t make my own Nilla

wafers, although you totally could!
Homemade vanilla wafers would be delicious
– I just never feel like making them.

Don’t worry that making your own banana

pudding from scratch is hard. It’s a lot easier
than you think!

HOW TO MAKE BANANA

PUDDING FROM SCRATCH
First, you’ll want to get the components of
your Homemade Banana Pudding ready to go:

Make homemade vanilla pudding

according to my recipe

Slice 3-4 bananas

Whip up some homemade whipped cream

As soon as the pudding comes off the stove

and you whisk in the butter and vanilla, grab
your favorite baking dish. Line the bottom of
the dish with a layer of Nilla wafer cookies,
topped with a layer of sliced bananas.

Pour half of the warm pudding over the sliced

bananas. Repeat the cookie, banana, and
pudding layers one more time.

Place a layer of plastic wrap over the pudding

so that the plastic touches the top of the
pudding. This will prevent a skin from
forming while it chills.

Let the pudding chill for at least 4 hours.

Before serving, top with as much whipped
cream as you desire. Garnish with more
cookies and banana slices.

One batch of pudding will fill a 2 to 2 ½ quart

baking dish. If you’d like to make your
banana pudding in a trifle dish like you see in
these photos, I recommend doubling the
recipe to fill the dish.
