My mother gave me this recipe, which an old friend had shared with her. When my children were still at home, we enjoyed this satisfying pudding often, and now I make it for company. There's no comparison between this recipe and the instant pudding mixes from the grocery store! —Esther Matteson, South Bend, Indiana

I and a very experienced cook with a taste for very good food. I have been making this for almost a decade. I got it from my MaMaw's ToH duiring a visit. This pudding is to die for! It is a must during every holiday meal. Once I dropped it on the floor and we still ate it!!! That is how amazing it is. Even my husband from Mobile AL says it's the very best he has ever had and pleads to have it made when his family visits. He loves to brag on my cooking and this is his favorite desert I make. We are southerners so we know Nana Puddin. This is hands down the very best you will ever taste. I add shortbread cookies to mine. Let it sit overnight for the very best pudding experience of you life.

This is positively the best Banana Pudding I've tasted! It is a little labor intensive but well, well worth it! I had layers of vanilla wafers for my hubby.

This is the most delicious banana pudding I have ever tried. I've made it for friends and they have asked for the recipe. Making it is time consuming, but the results are worth it.
