Banana Pudding
I didn’t see my son, Lance Corporal Eric Harris, for more than two years after he enlisted in the Marines after high school. And when I saw him arrive at the airport, I just grabbed hold of him and burst out crying. When we got home, the first thing he ate was two bowls of my easy banana pudding recipe. He’s a true southern boy! It’s a dessert, but you can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. —Stephanie Harris, Montpelier, Virginia

Been using a similar vh recipe for several years. Very tasty. We prefer it to pudding with meringue on top. If you like bvb your desserts super sweet use 1 cup sugar. We 3/4 cup sugar is perfect with sweet bananas and vanilla wafers.
Haven't tried this yet but I will take a little of each review and see if I can make some without screwing it up (I have a habit of it when a recipe seems confusing)....to to Alexa: since You are the ONLY one that had issues with the pudding smelling like rotten eggs that it WAS YOUR EGGS, NOT the pudding. Stuff that in your cap!
The perfect Banana Pudding, so good!!!
First homemade pudding I've ever made... and it came out great! I was concerned I would "scramble" the eggs, but I tempered as directed and didn't bring pudding to a full boil. The directions are a bit confusing because it says remove from heat, then bring to boil... but I just kept it on the heat and moved on. I saw comments that this was 'bland' or 'not sweet.' I found it actually to be a bit on the sweet side, and definitely not bland. It might matter your ingredients to start with tho-- I used fresh, organic milk, eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla. Only the salt wasn't organic... but I think if you use fresh ingredients and a GOOD vanilla (real vanilla not imitation) you'll have good success! It was super easy, and if I can do it... lol.
I tried making this recipe, the pudding smelled like rotten eggs so I had to throw it out. I was very upset. I would give it less than 1 star if I could.
@Bev Could you BE more snotty? Good for you little miss thing, with your from scratch everything. The person you replied to was 80 years old. 80. Shut up. Nobody thinks you're special because you make nilla wafers from scratch. An 80 year old probably isn't as enthusiastic about that bs. Seriously. Shut. Up.
I used the basis of this recipe, but made it my own. I used Lemon Oreos rather than those wafers. I also used packaged (sorry pudding purists) french vanilla pudding. I just broke up the lemon oreos, added bananas, topped with the pudding and whipped cream. My husband asks for this every other day!
I love alot of Taste of Home recipes but this one not so much. The pudding needed much more sugar. It tasted very bland. I will use corn starch instead of flour. The mixture didn't thicken well at all with the flour. I was very disappointed with this receipe as was my family. I may try it again but I highly doubt it. Almost tasteless.
@manorman, Sorry, but there's NO WAY top compare boxed pudding to homemade pudding and call it better .... that's ridiculous, but you keep on eating chemically laden boxed pudding if you want. As for me, I'll not only follow this recipe, but make homemade vanilla wafers too, it's SO yum!
I made this recipe it was delicious.! It was only my second time trying and I didn’t wonderful thanks for the help
