For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of vanilla extract to the pudding while it's cooking. If you prefer a richer pudding, use heavy cream instead of milk, or a combination of both. To prevent the bananas from browning, toss them gently with a little lemon juice before layering. Store leftover pudding in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Jun 29, 2025The pudding was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup.
