Why use Vanilla pudding instead of banana pudding? I've asked all my Southern relatives that. Just asking your opinion. And is it ok to use the instant pudding or the cook n serve?
@@SW-Lopez1980 I only use the instant pudding because the cook and serve won’t be as quick. You can certainly use the cook and serve but it won’t be these directions. You would have to cook the pudding first. And the reason why everyone I know uses vanilla pudding for this is because it just has a better flavor that blends well with the banana. Using banana pudding with bananas it’s just overwhelming. It’s almost like you can’t really taste the bananas on their own because the pudding flavor overwhelms the actual fruit.
Thank you for reminding me how to make it. There is so many videos on UA-cam and they make it so complicated they’re using condensed milk and they’re using vanilla extract and using sour cream cream. It doesn’t have to be so difficult banana pudding was never meant to be difficult
I hope y'all enjoyed this! Sorry for being slow to respond, but I've been largely away from UA-cam and out in the garden or taking care of other projects lately. 😄
Banana pudding is just so good! 🍌 I know it would be even better with real, made from scratch whipped cream. I think I’ll have to make some like that one day... 🤔
I came across this recipe some time ago and was going to try it but I lost it!! Judging by UA-cam's algorithms it must have been at least a year ago but the good news is You're here now!! Gonna save you to my list so I can try this, so simple! Many thanks 😊
You are so right do not make it complicated. It had been a minute or two since I had made it and I just wanted to brush up on it. He had been about 20 years. Anyway the wife does not like banana pudding. I made this banana pudding and she actually likes it. There is no need to mess up a classic. Thank you again
I'm so happy I found your receipe/channel. It's so easy and only 5 ingredients. ( counting you need 2 boxes of vanilla pudding) I'm making it for Easter. 👍 😃 🍮
I'm so glad I found this. All the other ones are too involved, and too many ingredients. You do it like my the ladies at my church did it when I was young. Thanks for sharing 💁
I'm going to try this when the grandkids come over this weekend. I bet they'll help me make it. It looks so good! Could you tell me what size baking pan you used? Thank you!
Thank you for such a simple recipe I didn't like the condensed milk on other videos that I saw I wanted something simple and this is it and I'm trying to vanilla pudding instead of banana pudding is great I think I'm going to try that thank you
Growing up THIS was my fave thing my momma made for family events ... thaaaaank youuuuuuuj for sharing this!! I have been meaning to ask her what she did. Yasss. (also, Ezra alerted me you had a new video cuz she is subscribed to you too! 😹♥️)
Assuming you used instant pudding, it should be thickened up within just a few minutes. It won’t be as thick as it’s going to get if you refrigerate it for a while, but it will be thick enough that you can tell it’s a setting correctly.
Haha I reckon that's true. I mean, we say supper, but I know folks out there say "dinner" when they mean the evening meal. Dinner is an afternoon meal - often after church - enjoyed at the dining room table with family. 😄
Thank you for saving the day! I’m so excited to have run into your channel, and especially. this recipe for banana pudding. I used to make something like this way back in the olden days. Ha ha, but I forgot how I did it, and when I looked up recipes, they all were way too complicated! Just know that a very happy family will be enjoying this exact banana pudding on Thanksgiving!
I searched for banana pudding after seeing a skit about "the South." This is so not what I was expecting! Here (Australia) a pudding is a boiled/steamed type of cake. Sometimes self-saucing. Banana pudding is more like a banana trifle. It's tempting to make, but I've never seen Nilla wafers, that custard-jelly (that you called pudding), or Cool Whip (is that just wiped cream?). LOL
Cool Whip is a very cheap imitation of proper whipped cream, but it holds up really well long after you've used it to top a dessert. The "custard-jelly" you refer to, our Jello, is an instant version of this type of thing (www.mybakingaddiction.com/homemade-vanilla-pudding/) ... I can see why you'd call this a trifle. While trifles aren't typical desserts here in the southern USA (yes, some people make them and eat them, but it's not a common thing), I do know what they are and this does seem similar. Regardless of whether you make it or not thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment!
@Old Time Knowledge...YAY!!! I got some 8 x 8 disposable aluminum pans imma use to make your recipe. I have been craving banana pudding for a few days now so I think it's time I make some
Love this! I will use your recipe day b4 Thanksgiving day to make sure itself ready for dessert! I'll probably combine all the ingredients together late nite b4 10-11pm to have it sit overnight b4😂 serving! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us ❤
This will be perfect to make ahead for Thanksgiving! It's definitely best if it can be in the fridge at least overnight so it sounds like a great plan!
@@OldTimeKnowledge just made this for tonight following your directions except I messed up snd put the cool whip on and then put it in the fridge instead of puting it on later so hopefully I didn’t screw it up!? lol. lol. Wish me luck!! Had this as a kid a longgggg time ago and have been craving it for years so hopefully it’s as good as I remember it being!! Lol. Thx for the video. Great job
I used instant pudding so it doesn't get boiled. You just mix cold milk with the instant pudding mix. If you used a cooked pudding then you might need to do that.
Great question, Noelia! I usually let it set for at least a couple of hours but sometimes we get into it faster if there isn’t that much time between when I make it and when we need to serve it for dessert.
It’s not complicated. Just follow the directions in the show notes. If you have a large box of pudding mix, you would just use one but if you have the smaller boxes of pudding, which is the normal size then you would use two.
It could be a lot of things. First of all, this recipe calls for instant pudding. Also, you might just follow the directions on the box for how much milk to use with the pudding mix. In this case, we use less milk than the box actually calls for. The box calls for 3 cups per box but we only use 2 cups per box for this. And lastly, it does take a little bit of time for the pudding to set up which is why you should put it in the refrigerator for a while.
@@OldTimeKnowledge thank you for the reply. I have used 240ml of milk for each pack of instant pudding. Do you think this is where I went wrong? I refrigerated for more than 12 hrs but it is still runny. I have made this for the first time, sorry for bothering you with too many questions.
@@sahithinickhy4192 My guess is you are using a different kind of pudding than what we have. I had to look up the conversion. 240 ml would only be 1 cup. For our pudding, you would use 2 cups per instant package and I use two packages in this recipe, so 4 cups total. I think you can get the idea of how this is made, though. You are basically just putting vanilla wafers in the bottom of the dish, around the dish, and after the first layer of pudding, and also adding in some sliced bananas and if you like some kind of whipped topping on top. You might need to follow the instructions on whatever type of pudding you are purchasing and use a little bit less than what it calls for.
Fair point. Where I live, when you just say Jell-O pudding, it’s always instant pudding. The regular Jell-O pudding is instant, otherwise it’s specifically Jell-o Cook ‘n Serve. But it might not be that way everywhere. I have added instant to the description above. Thank you for the suggestion!
Hey young lady I made this on July 18th 2023 and I made a just like you said mine was all soggy and I ended up trashing it because it was gross but I see fabulous it has a little firmness to it I even left mine in overnight and it was so soggy I was so disappointed I guess I did something wrong😢
Plenty of vanilla wafers? Two small boxes of instant pudding? Sliced bananas and cool whip? Honestly, the pudding should already start firming up before you even put it in the refrigerator. It should definitely be thick so if it was already runny, then you might’ve put in too much milk for the amount of pudding you used. I hate that it didn’t work out for you! An issue of runnyness is almost always going to be either too much milk or it’s possible that you used a different pudding than I used, or different amount of pudding.
I've tried it with banana, but I'll be honest, it just tastes a little more fake to me that way. The vanilla just gives it another layer of flavor. Try it both ways! You may like it better with banana pudding. 😊
That’s why it says in the title “quick and easy banana pudding” and then it says “no bake pudding”. Those are cues to let people know that this is not the regular time-intensive banana pudding recipe. It’s a shortcut, just like using a box of cake mix as a shortcut. And yes, this is delicious. 😉

But since it's that easy I might as well make a banana strawberry mix thanks 😊

I've had this once in my life
Did you like it? 😃
Question! Cus I made my banana pudding just like yours.. how long does it take to thicken up?
Assuming you used instant pudding, it should be thickened up within just a few minutes. It won’t be as thick as it’s going to get if you refrigerate it for a while, but it will be thick enough that you can tell it’s a setting correctly.
This is also awesome for people who are allergic to eggs
Good point! I hadn't thought of that!
I Put the Pudding and Cool Whip mixed Together!!!
That sounds like a good plan! 😃
This is exactly how my mom use to make . Easy Peasy ! I’m glad I found your recipe. 🩷
