About the Recipe
My grandmother’s classic recipe—sweet, creamy, and layered with love.
A family favorite for generations, this banana pudding is smooth, rich, and full of nostalgic flavor. Cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk give it a decadent twist, while layers of bananas and vanilla wafers make it the ultimate comfort dessert.
