Easy Pudding Dessert
Pudding adds such a great flavor in a very economical way to desserts. I love pudding because there’s a variety of great flavors. My mom shared this recipe with lemon pudding, but we wanted to try another twist. The banana cream pudding is perfect for this light and easy dessert idea!
When using real bananas the taste can vary quite a bit based on the ripeness of the bananas. So, this dessert is easy, uses non-perishable ingredients that you commonly have on hand and tastes great! Recipes that can be whipped up for last minute company or an impromptu party are great to have handy.
This Banana Cream Delight tastes great with basic ingredients, but chopped nuts and maraschino cherries may make it even more delightful for some.
If you love this recipe you’ll also enjoy Banana Cream Delight, Banana Lollipops and Banana Split Cake.
Substitute Vanilla Wafers for Lorna Doone Cookies
My favorite pudding dessert crust is in our Candy Land Dessert and has Lorna Doone cookies in it. The cookies hold together well and taste great, but are fairly expensive and can be difficult to find. Vanilla wafers are a cheap and easy alternative!
I’ve made this a couple of times and struggled to get the crust to hold together perfectly. This problem is about looks, not taste, so we decided it’s not really a problem at all.
Our Banana Split Cake is another great creamy dessert that is a crowd pleaser! We hope you enjoy these desserts as much as we do!
