Forget the box! This is the Best Homemade Banana Pudding Recipe!

Have you ever tried making pudding from scratch? Despite what you may think, it’s actually really easy to do, and there is just no comparison in the taste! 

Best Homemade Banana Pudding Recipe!

If you’re going to make a simple dessert like pudding, you want it to taste the best that it possibly can. Make sure you use really ripe bananas to get the most banana bang for your buck. And use a good quality vanilla. These two things will give your banana pudding amazing flavor!

Also, make sure you let the pudding boil for a full minute. This is what helps it get really thick and rich. We don’t want a runny pudding!

Now, this pudding tastes amazing as is, or top it with extra bananas and vanilla wafers as pictured; but I had bigger plans for this batch! You’ll just have to come back again tomorrow to see what I made 🙂 I promise…it’s well worth the wait!

No more store bought pudding!! This is the Best Homemade Banana Pudding Recipe!

Forget the store bought box - this is the Best (easy) Homemade Banana Pudding Recipe!

    I just made this and it’s awesome! I put it into two bowls and stirred a handful of chocolate chips into one bowl till melted. I’m hoping there will be some left for tomorrow…..but it doesn’t look like it. They’re both going fast. 🙂

    Full disclosure… I’ve never actually made banana pudding from scratch, even though it’s my second-favourite pudding flavour in the world (right after salted caramel, which everyone knows is the best pudding in the whole wide world). And considering how easy it is to make, I’m clearly overdue!

    I love banana pudding, from scratch, from a box, out of a trough, if you put banana pudding in front of me I’ll eat it all up. This looks utterly scrumptious.

    I always have bananas around, and this would be a fun change from the usual banana bread. My kids would love it!

    I adore banana pudding all on it’s own, but a few vanilla wafers and banana slices never hurt anything either. I can’t wait to see what else you do with it.

    I love making Banana Pudding from scratch. It tastes so much better than using the boxed pudding mix. My husband loves pineapple so I make banana pudding and us crushed pineapple (drained real well) as a treat for him on special occasions..
