I'm going to take you back to a childhood favorite, that is still a huge favorite in our house: classic banana pudding. I love pudding. I think I could eat it everyday of my life. Seriously. A while back, I wanted to make a big batch of classic banana pudding for a bbq we were going to. Rather than using traditional, boxed vanilla wafers though, I made them at home from scratch. I used this recipe from Serious Eats. I will never buy vanilla wafers ever again. These are unbelievable.
I noticed that one of the comments on the recipe said they were "too buttery and rich." What? I don't think there is such a thing as too buttery and rich when it comes to baked goods!
To make the pudding, I used a large box of instant vanilla and a small box of instant banana pudding (I'm saving homemade pudding for another day), and prepared per package directions (I mixed the 2 flavors together). I then made whipped cream by whipping heavy whipping cream on high in the stand mixer for about 5 minutes.
To assemble: layer wafers on the bottom, followed by sliced banana, 1/3 of pudding and repeat until there are three layers. Top with whipped cream and enjoy! I made an individual one, just so I could make sure it tasted okay.
My only regret is that I didn't make a double batch. Want to get more great recipes in your inbox? You can subscribe to Food Snob St. Louis or follow me on Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest.
