Tips for the Best Classic Banana Pudding
- Banana Selection: Choose ripe bananas that are still firm but not overly soft to prevent mushiness in the pudding.
- Make Ahead: This dessert is perfect for making ahead of time. The flavors meld beautifully when allowed to chill overnight.
- Variations: Feel free to add layers of other fruits like strawberries or blueberries for a fruity twist.
- Creamy Texture: For an extra creamy texture, you can fold in some whipped cream into the pudding mixture before layering.
Storing
- In the fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the vanilla wafers may become softer over time.
- Do not freeze: Banana pudding is best enjoyed fresh and does not freeze well due to the texture of the bananas and pudding.
