i've made this recipe too many times to count. it's easy to also improvise to one's liking. in order to prevent the bananas from browning (which is inevitable any time they're unpeeled and exposed to air), it is worth the extra minute to wet the slices on both sides in a dish of lemon juice as soon as they are peeled. it not only keeps the color (thereby making the pudding look more appetizing) but the touch of lemon flavor enhances the taste of the whole dessert. this recipe can also be made w/o sour cream for a milder taste. to save space make this in a bowl.

This recipe was very good and I was happy to discover that the leftovers keep very well in the refridgerator for close to a week.

Quick, simple, and really delicious. I substituted instant coconut cream pudding for the vanilla, and sprinkled shredded coconut on top. Yum!!!

This is sooo good and so easy. You have to let it set overnight though so the consistancy is better.

This was good, but EXTREMELY rich! If rich is what you're looking for this is a good recipe. If you don't like super rich desserts, I would skip this one.

I have become known for making this recipe. It is the biggest hit! It's very rich, but very good. I do 2 layers of vanilla wafers instead of just the one. Then crumble the remaining on top. I end up using almost a whole box of vanilla wafers. I also use 8-10 bananas because it is so creamy. I highly recommend this. It takes about 15 minutes and everyone will love it!

This was absolutely the biggest hit for banana pudding I have ever had. It is very very rich though so you can not eat a lot in one sitting! It was creamy and full of flavor and hit the sweet spot to the max!!!! My entire family agrees!! And my husband is not a pudding eater! lol

I was pretty disappointed with this one. It was very easy to make, but the consistancy was not what I expected and the bananas turned brown quickly. I definately did not serve this one. Tasted good though.

This was excellent! The kids (ages 10 and 5) loved it, the husband loved it, the relatives loved it. My only suggestion, serve in a small helping. It is very rich and I found it hard to eat too much of it! It was good, though!!

This was delicious...so smooth and creamy. I made it the day before and used only 5 bananas..it refrigerates well and keeps well after serving, if you are lucky enough to have any left. This serves a large group....much easier than banana cream pie and just as good!
