Laura it is so amazing how I fell across your recipe. I was calling my aunt in Louisiana to get my grandmothers old recipe for banana pudding and while she was telling me over the phone I was looking at yours. Same ingredients! We have amazing grandmothers! Nobody understands a hot banana pudding. RIP to my grandmother, but I just wanted to share that great minds think alike! Happy Thanksgiving!

MMMMM! Made this as a dessert for Easter dinner. Runny, but that was my fault. I didn't have the patience (or the time, actually) to cook the pudding until it thickened enough, but it was STILL delicious! My family ate it up! I was almost embarrassed for them to see it because it was so soupy, but after one teensy bite, I changed my mind & am glad I did. I live in the deep south & my southern family all agreed that it had that "home-made" banana pudding taste that we grew up with as kids. I doubled the recipe per some suggestions, but if you are only making a 9x13 dish...DON'T double it! I ended up with too much pudding & I think that's why it was taking so long to thicken. But DO double the meringue. Banana pudding without meringue shouldn't even be called banana pudding! :) I will definitely keep this recipe in the mix for family gatherings! Thanks!

This dessert was okay. Definitely not one of my favorites. It was alittle too sweet. It took about 30 minutes to get the pudding mixture to thicken.

Easy to make but a word of advice- definitely serve warm. I made this ahead of time thinking it would save me some trouble and so I wouldn't have to neglect my dinner guests, but putting it in the fridge made the wafers hard as rocks.

I personally had never cared for banana pudding before, but since I married my husband (who swears that you can only get good banana pudding in Georgia), I've been on a mission to find a great recipe. Mission Accomplished! This was so much easier and tastier than I could have ever imagined!

We are divided on this one. Two of the kids (I say kids, but 18 and 20 year olds) were here for dinner tonight and both liked it and said it had great flavor. My husband and I both thought it was too sweet, even after backing down the sugar to 3/4 cup. And the consistancy was "mushy and mealy". Neither of us liked it at all and we usually like any kind of dessert. It does make a pretty presentation before cutting and serving.
