Mind-Blowing Banana Pudding

Last updated on February 16th, 2019 at 08:26 pm

This delicious banana pudding is easy to put together, has a great tasting twist, and makes a great picnic dessert! Serve it in small shot glasses for fun!

In the South, banana pudding is pretty much its own religion, much like buttermilk biscuits, sweet tea, and fried chicken.  Everyone has their own recipe and it’s always better than any other recipe around.  My friend Michael makes an AMAZING banana pudding!  Ever have a specialty or dish that people request you to bring to any get-together?  Banana pudding is Michael’s specialty.  He’s married to Michelle so as couples go, it’s their thing to bring, but we all know that Michael actually makes it.  It is so delicious and we fight over who gets to take home the leftovers.

What makes Mind-Blowing Banana Pudding?

Another friend of mine, Heather, makes a delicious banana pudding that is just as good as Michael’s but it has a fun twist to it.  Instead of vanilla wafers, she uses Crispy Sugared Pecans! She also has another twist which I found equally intriguing.  Sour cream.  I had never heard of anyone putting sour cream in their pudding but it adds so much to it.

The sour cream creates a different dimension to the pudding and cuts through the sweetness a bit.  When she brings her pudding to a party, people stick their whole head in the bowl to get the last little bit they can’t get with a spoon, or spatula, or finger.
