Banana Pudding

Banana pudding is a sweet treat originating from the Southern United States. It typically consists of layered vanilla custard, sliced bananas, and wafers or ladyfingers. The concoction is then topped with either meringue or whipped cream. This dessert became closely associated with the American South after WWII, when numerous banana pudding recipes started to get published in newspapers.

Nowadays, there are many variations of this classic dessert that is often seen at church picnics and family gatherings.
