Not just any Banana Pudding. This is the most irresistible banana pudding with the creamy pudding, melt in your mouth cookies and fresh sliced bananas

What is better than a bowl of Banana Pudding???

Of Course, Beve’s Banana Pudding.

This pudding is much like the creamy custard like dessert that we all grew up eating…especially if you are from the South. When I think about banana pudding the initial imagines and thoughts that come to mine are of my father sitting in the reclining chair eating a bowl of banana pudding. Oh how he enjoyed it when there was banana pudding in the house.

The Classic banana pudding is rather simple and comes together without much of a challenge. The commonly used ingredients are a package of vanilla pudding, sweeten condensed milk,Vanilla wafers, cool whip, and bananas.

So, you ask what makes Beve’s banana pudding different. Well, for starts it not for the faint at heart with spending time in the kitchen. This dessert does not come together in just a few minutes. The active time ( prepping and preparing) is just as long as the refrigeration time almost, but SO worth it !!

Differences between Classical Banana Pudding and Beve’s

Made from scratch
Use of homemade shortbread cookies ( pictured are cute pumpkin cut outs for the Fall season)
Homemade whipped cream

These differences might not seem big, but they are truly game changers. So now instead of making one recipe, there are 3 recipes that need to be made to bring it all together. It is time consuming, but again I can not say it enough….IT IS WORTH IT THOUGHT !!

Shortbread Cookies

I believe that these shortbread cookies are the secret ingredient that takes this Banana Pudding from wonderful to phenomenal. These are my favorite cookies and they can be iced for decorative cookies, added to desserts like this banana pudding or eaten just plain. They are melt in your mouth delicious and definitely you can not eat just one.
