Banana pudding
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Banana pudding is a dessert generally consisting of repeated layers of sweet vanilla custard, cookies (usually Vanilla Wafers or ladyfingers) and sliced fresh bananas placed in a dish and served, topped with whipped cream or meringue. [1] The wafers absorb the custard.
It is commonly associated with Southern U.S. cuisine, however, it can be found around the country.[2] Furthermore, it closely resembles an English Trifle in that it is assembled in layers and includes custard, fruit, sponge cake, and whipped cream.
It can be prepared using a baked or refrigerated method, with the latter being the more popular, particularly among home cooks. Moreover, many recipes have been adapting using vanilla pudding instead of a true custard.[3] Other recipes omit the wafers. An early Banana Pudding recipe was published in "The Kentucky Receipt Book," by Mary Harris Frazer, in 1903.[4] However, even this recipe does not include wafers.
