Banana Pudding Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Pointsevenout / All my dishes 2 years, 2 months ago This pudding has a mile-high meringue and will easily feed a crowd. Although using a vanilla bean infuses superior flavor, you can use 1/2 tsp vanilla extract; stir into the cooked custard. From Cooking light 2004. A staff favorite.

This sounds like a great dessert! I'm with Mother...I don't like meringue, so I would do crumbled wafers as a topping also!

Mother doesn't like meringue so I use crumbled wafers as a topping.

I use my stand mixer mixing bowl as the presentation dish instead of a 13x9. You can get real fancy and line the edge of the dish vertically with wafers as you layer the ingredients if using a deep dish glass container.
