When trying out different versions and variations through the years, the recipe that stuck is Paula Deen’s Not Yo’ Mama’s Banana Pudding. She knows her banana pudding, for sure.

Preferably ones that are still firm, as the bananas will soften even more as this sits in the refrigerator. Cookies. Pepperidge Farm Chessmen Cookies are delicious shortbread cookies and make a great layering cookie. If you can’t find them, butter cookies or Nilla Wafers will work too! The cookies soften as this sits, much like in a Chocolate Eclair Cake or Icebox Cake. They become “cake-like” and amazing. Pudding. I opt for banana cream instant pudding mix. I think it intensifies the banana flavor to a delicious level. However, Paula Deen uses French Vanilla, and I think even plain vanilla would work too. Be sure to use instant pudding not cook and serve for best results. Whipped Cream vs Cool Whip I chose to use Cool Whip for my banana pudding, but if you want to use a homemade whipped cream that would work too. It just might not be as stable. If serving in a trifle bowl, totally go for the whipped cream! You could also make our stabilized whipped cream which is similar to cool whip, but homemade! Step by Step InstructionsBottom Layer. Line the bottom of a 13×9-inch baking dish with a single layer of cookies (it’s okay if they overlap slightly). Use the deepest 13×9 you own. Layer sliced bananas over the top. I used 6 medium size bananas, and cover the bottom so you don’t see any cookies (about 2 layers worth of banana slices). Pudding Filling. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk. Beat until creamy, with no clumps! Add in pudding mixture, and milk, and beat again for several minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Fold in the cool whip or whipped cream. Final Layer. Pour pudding mixture over the top of the bananas and top with a layer of cookies. Chill. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Enjoy. To serve, slice and serve with an offset spatula. ENJOY. Tips and Tricks
Recipe FAQs
How long does banana pudding last? The bananas in banana pudding will begin to brown after two days. Can banana pudding be frozen? I don’t recommend freezing banana pudding. The texture of the cookies will change, and the bananas will turn very dark and unappetizing. Can banana pudding be made in advance? Yes! This can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time, however for best results should be eaten within two days. Make sure to cover the bananas completely with pudding mixture so they are not exposed to air.

How do you keep bananas from turning brown in banana pudding?* Treat the bananas with citrus juice: Lemon, orange or pineapple juice will prevent browning.
How do you thicken banana pudding?The addition of cornstarch and a few minutes on the stovetop are all it takes on how to make banana pudding thicker. There is no need to use a double boiler for cooking the pudding's foundation of milk, cream, and sugar because the cornstarch thickens it considerably.
