This recipe is delicious and so easy to make! My family loved it!
I followed the recipe exactly. I used heavy whipping cream and whipped it first, no sugar. But this recipe is so sweet it made my jaw hurt when I tried it. I wonder if it has something to do with what brand of pudding mix you use? I used 365 brand from Whole Foods.
This recipe turned out great. Made a good portion and everyone loved it.
Best banana pudding recipe ever! My sons request this dessert all the time. I used chessman cookies (or any other shortbread cookie) instead of vanilla wafers and it is superb!
Yummy! I whipped my own heavy cream and it was perfect. Not over powering sweetness like some reviews. Airy and light. This recipe is a keeper!
Extras: *I use Banana Cream instant pudding *Substituting Cool Whip for the heavy cream works fine, flavored even better *Use more wafers than what the recipe calls for for cake-like way they turn out.
So I made it again (because I can’t get enough) and this time I blended a banana and a half in the blender and added it to the pudding mix and I covered it with Chessman cookies to appearance. Still delicious!!!
Our kids and grandkids have always loved this recipe, as well as our guests. The pan is always emptied.
I made this before, and would recommend either using 2 small packets of instant vanilla pudding or 1 large packet. I would also recommend using a 12 oz. container of frozen whipped topping (thawed) for stability purposes only. For those who had trouble with a runny pudding, make sure you are buying INSTANT, not cook and serve pudding. Also, if you’re making your own whipped dream, DO NOT use whipping cream. Use heavy cream (or double cream depending on the store/country you’re in). For those complaining about the lemon juice, try pineapple or orange juice instead. Best of luck!
Best banana pudding ever!
This is yummy, everyone loves it, the only recipe I’ll use to make banana pudding
Great recipe!! But I do mix it up a bit – I use Pepperidge Farms Chessman cookies on the bottom & edges of pan and in the middle between layers. I add bananas on top of the cookies. I also use banana cream pudding. Not sure what the lemon juice is for (maybe to keep bananas from getting brown) but I don’t use it either. This always gets rave reviews!! Definitely a keeper!!
It’s okay, overly sweet for me
This recipe is so bad in that I eat way to much of it when I make it. Thanks for the recipe. I like the tip someone gave to dip the banana in sprite. works great.
My family said this was the best banana pudding ever. The only thing I changed was the 1 1/2 cups of water – I reduced it to 3/4 cups because it seemed too much. It made the pudding more like a custard but it was still good. I will make this again and I will follow the recipe to the letter.
My son made this for Christmas and it was wonderful. He didn’t change a thing and neither will I when I make it
It’s gorgeous in a trifle bowl and I am frustrated that I have not taken any pictures of this spectacular-looking dessert. My hubby is annoyed that today the pastor asked ‘Who made the banana pudding?’ (his favorite dessert) then added, ‘If you want any, you’d better hurry because it’s absolutely the best banana pudding I ever had!’ So there were no leftovers to bring home and it only gets better for days! Make sure you make it the day before and use ripe bananas. (I also use milk in place of the water called for.)
I didn’t change a thing! Best part was using fresh cream, whipped. just the right amount of sweetness And so fast!
this is an old great recipe that I made many years ago then forgot. I’m glad it showed back up in a pin. I made it the other night and the nice memories of how good it tasted came back. Instant pudding, to me, has a lingering nasty after taste, but that disappears in this recipe.
What a disaster this recipe was!! I followed the directions to a tee, but the pudding mixture never set after chilling it much longer than the five minutes. It was a watery mess!! I had to send my hubby on an emergency milk run and made it with cold milk, then proceeded to add the whipped cream and it turned out fairly good. No more eagle brand recipes for this cook!! Very disappointed to say the least.
This recipe has been a family tradition in my home for the past 15 years during Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas holidays. My kids grew up with this recipe and now make it for their children. It’s like banana pudding with a kick! WARNING!!! Make sure you whip the whipping cream until it is creamy before you fold it into your recipe – or you’ll have a SOGGY mess.
