Some desserts are more than just a sweet treat—they’re a memory. This Old Fashioned Banana Pudding is the epitome of Southern comfort, built from scratch with a rich, creamy custard, ripe bananas, and buttery vanilla wafers, all crowned with a cloud-like baked meringue. Forget the box mixes; this is the real deal, evoking the simple, heartfelt joy of a family gathering.
Gather Your Ingredients
For the Pudding:
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups whole milk (*see note below)
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4–5 ripe bananas, thinly sliced
1 box (about 11 oz) vanilla wafers
🍌 Pro Tip: To prevent banana slices from browning, you can gently toss them in a teaspoon of lemon juice.
For the Meringue:
4 large egg whites, at room temperature
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
*A Note on Milk: For the creamiest, most luxurious custard, whole milk is essential. Skim or low-fat milk will result in a thinner, less rich pudding._
