How much should bananas be ripe for banana pudding?
The sweeter bananas become as they ripen. We also run the risk of the bananas becoming mushy. As a result, I recommend using medium-ripe bananas.
Suggestions and Variations
Here are some fun options to try if you want to spice things up a little bit.
- Vanilla wafers are a traditional favorite, although butter cookies, Chessmen cookies, and graham crackers are also delicious.
- Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings.
Ingredients:
- 1 packet quick vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups chilled milk
- 1⁄2 sweetened condensed milk can
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup frozen whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 box of vanilla wafers
- 6 bananas (sliced)
Method:
- For 2 minutes in a large mixing basin, combine pudding mix and milk. Mix in the condensed milk until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping once you've added the vanilla.
- Layer the wafers, bananas, and pudding mixture in a glass dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. It is also possible to chill it overnight.
Is it good to freeze banana pudding?
- To be completely honest, I do not suggest it. Because of its high water content, banana pudding is difficult to freeze. After thawing, the consistency changes considerably.
- Furthermore, the bananas will most likely turn dark and mushy.
- However, you can combine all of the ingredients and freeze them like ice cream or pudding popsicles.
