About Banana Pudding

Banana pudding layers vanilla pudding, cookies and sliced bananas. Sarah Jampel’s King Arthur version uses cooked egg-yolk custard with sweetened condensed milk, homemade vanilla wafers and a whipped-cream topping.

Banana and vanilla lead the flavour, with sugar and condensed milk contributing sweetness. Milk and cream give the custard its rich dairy character.

The chilled dessert combines thick custard, soft banana slices and wafers that soften between the layers. Firm whipped cream covers the surface, with crushed vanilla cookies scattered over it before serving.
