Smooth, creamy Banana Pudding layered with sliced bananas and vanilla wafers, this classic Southern dessert is sure to be the hit of your next gathering.
The very first time I shared the recipe for this amazingly, delicious Banana Pudding was a couple of years ago and the photo was terrible! The truth is that sometimes delicious desserts look ugly when photographed by the in-experienced. I like to think I’ve learned a thing or two about food photography since then, so I knew I wanted to reshoot this dessert and luckily Thanksgiving provided me the perfect opportunity to eat said pudding and take new pictures.
This smooth, creamy pudding is made with fresh whipped cream that gives it a lightness that pairs perfectly with the sliced bananas and crunchy vanilla wafers, I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

It is so disappointing sometimes when much loved, delicious are just not very photogenic. You have given me courage though because I love the look of this pudding!
thank you Mariana 🙂
I loooove this stuff! My mother-in-law makes it every year for the holidays! I never thought of it as a holiday dessert initially, but it definitely is to me now – and maybe that is a southern thing!! The pics turned out great! Some food is so difficult to photograph. Haha!
Thanks Sarah!
