There’s something undeniably comforting about banana desserts—whether it’s a rich milkshake or a classic loaf, they’ve always been my go-to sweets. When a friend mentioned a banana pudding recipe recently, I was immediately intrigued and decided to give it a shot right away.
Our Friday nights typically involve a cozy movie session paired with takeout from our favorite spot in Brighton. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a long workweek. Fortunately, food delivery here is convenient, so we rarely have to cook on Fridays. Dessert usually means chocolates or ice cream, but this weekend, I wanted to try something new and exciting for the family.
Instead of relying on store-bought ingredients like wafers or instant pudding mixes, I opted to make everything from scratch. My version of banana pudding starts with a base made from chilled custard, bread pudding, and vanilla pudding. Once cooled, this creamy layer is topped with sweetened condensed milk, whipped cream, and cream cheese. While most people garnish their pudding with sliced bananas, I took it up a notch by adding dark chocolate shavings for an extra touch of indulgence.
Before diving into this recipe, it’s crucial to gather all the necessary tools and ingredients beforehand. Here’s a quick rundown:
---
### Kitchen Tools:
- A set of small ramekins, each holding approximately 4–5 ounces.
### Pudding Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon and nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups hot milk
### Topping Ingredients:
- Dark chocolate (at least 80% cocoa)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 4 ripe bananas
- 12 ounces heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (about 175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, spices, and salt. Gradually add the hot milk while continuing to stir. Divide the mixture evenly among the ramekins, filling them about one-third full. Place them in the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the puddings are set but still slightly jiggly.
While the pudding cools, prepare the toppings. Slice the bananas thinly and set them aside. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form. Next, blend the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Assemble the dish by spreading the cream cheese mixture over the cooled pudding bases. Decorate with banana slices and dark chocolate shavings, then refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
This dessert turned out even better than expected! The combination of textures—from the soft custard to the crunchy chocolate—is simply divine. Plus, knowing that every ingredient came straight from my kitchen made it feel extra special. If you're looking to impress your loved ones with a showstopper dessert, this banana pudding recipe is definitely worth a try.
Oh, and don’t forget to snap a photo—it’s almost too beautiful not to share!
