This was a last minute addition to our Zaar Week Cookathon/4th of July festivities per my FIL's request. It is the best banana pudding I have ever tasted. So much better than those that use pudding mix. This is the real deal as far as we are concerned. 5-stars from all my guests. My FIL gave it 10 but he really likes banana pudding. Thanks

Very, very good. Very easy, too. I used 3 bananas, and wasn't sure on the amount of wafers to use, so I used about half of a 250-gram box. This seems to have worked well. My hubby and I both loved it and I know I will be making this often. I served it unadorned, but I bet the addition of a dab of whipped cream would be the crowning touch. Thanks for posting this "old fashioned" winner!

Thanks Nurse Di. This is my husband's favorite dessert and I always thought it would be difficult to make. Very wrong. This was surprisingly easy and the taste was to die for. Creamy pudding with ripe bananas and nilla wafers. Just like mom used to make. Thanks for giving two displaced southerners a real treat.

Simply out of this world. I made this as a surprise for my dad. This is his favorite dessert ever. It turned out even better than my expectations. The pudding was rich and creamy. It was so easy to assemble. I served it warm with some fresh whipped cream. YUMMY STUFF. Thanks Nurse Di.

I made this Monday night late and put it in the fridge and then had my neighbors over for a snack Tuesday night. Today is Wednesday. There's none left! LOL! This was fabulous and a breeze to make, and delicious served chilled. Gonna make another one Sunday at the request of a little 3 year old and his mother. Thank you for a great treat!

This is the way banana pudding should taste. I layered the wafers, bananas and pudding in a 1 1/2 quart corningwear dish. I had enough pudding for two layers. Three medium sized bananas was just right. I have eaten banana pudding with Cool Whip or meringue topping but I personally like it without. We ate it warm, right out of the oven and it was fabulous. My husband ate the leftovers cold right out of the fridge and he loved it. Thanks for this incredible recipe.

This was the first time I made a banana pudding before without using pudding mix. It was very easy. I used a can of filled milk instead of regular milk. I reduced the amout of sugar by 1/4 of a cup. I put 2 tablespoons of butter in it after I added the vanilla flavoring for added flavor. I let mine cool before I layered the banana and cookies. I would make this again.

Finally! I found this recipe on a previous search for REAL Homemade banana pudding. It was GREAT! I did not write it down and was almost really upset during this search until I came across it again. My grandmother makes the best pudding ever but she is also getting forgetful and couldn't help me with the recipe. I thought I would carry her recipe on but now I have a new
