I have used this recipe for years, and have always gotten glowing reviews from everyone eating it. It’s simple, easy, and I cant imagine making banana pudding any other way!

I really like this recipe a lot. It’s simple to make and the consistency of the custard is always great. It tastes great. I also like the fact that it does not have a merenge, which I do not like. I have not tried Paula’s “not yo mama’s banana pudding” because if it starts with instant puddng I don’t expect it to be especially good.

I could have done something wrong but, didn’t have the pudding texture I wanted. It was a little “runny”. The flavor was great. I think I?ll try one more time.

I have been looking for a recipe that was similar to my husbands G Moms recipe. This is as close as I’ve come. Next time I will use less than a 12 oz. box of wafers but he ate almost a third his 1st taste!! Very easy to make & like an old fashioned Nana pudding w/ fresh whipped cream on top.

This recipe has been in my family since I was a kid, now over 60yo, and has always been a hit…But like someone else said, your choice of vanilla wafer makes a big difference…Nabisco, sorry…Sunshine was the only choice, but now they are gone…As I understand it Keebler bought Sunshine, and that’s the only change that has been made to this recipe…And yes it is right on the TOO SWEET border, but I don’t know anyone who has ever dared to cut back on the amount…Not in my family anyway…Enjoy this without reservation…

This is a very good recipe. It is on the almost-too-sweet side, but it went over very well with my Northern friends who had never had it before (can you believe it?!?!).

Made this recipe three times; good quality vanilla wafers (Mother’s brand)make a difference. My grandkids love this recipe.
