Becky’s Tips:
Use ripe bananas: Make sure your bananas are perfectly ripe, with a few brown spots on the peel. They will add a natural sweetness and enhance the flavor of the pudding.
Layering is key: To achieve the perfect balance of flavors and textures, layer the vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and pudding in a glass dish. This creates a visually appealing dessert and ensures that every bite is filled with deliciousness.
Chill before serving: Once you’ve assembled the pudding, refrigerate it for at least two hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the pudding to set properly.
