Easy Banana Pudding
This is one of my favoriteย bananaย puddings to take to potlucks because it tends to please everyone from the kids, adults, true southerners to Yorkers alike! ย Not to mention it’s so easy and quick to whip up a huge pan of this stuff. This is the recipe my grandmother uses a lot for family get-togethers. It’s just heavenly!
The addition of the sour cream really adds a special touch and helps tie in all the flavors. I like how it’s not overly sweet or too rich like some easyย bananaย pudding recipes can be. Don’t let the instantย puddingย throw you off, it works. Trust me.
Don’t tell anybody, but I actually prefer this version of banana pudding over the old-fashioned, homemade version.
I made this dessert for a holiday party and a pilot was there and his exact words were “I’ve hadย bananaย puddingย from all over the world but this stuff is first class!” I never seemed to forget that. ย What a compliment!
Watch me make this Easyย BananaPudding from start to finish!

“Call the Police” yes that’s what I said. Because I thought someone stole the Banana Pudding this Thanksgiving. I took it out the fridge placed on the dessert table and when I came back it was gone. Another 2024 hit. I still have wafers so I will make another one for Christmas or New Years! They love it! Thank you Diva.

Really looking forward to trying this
