Peanut Butter Banana Pudding

I’ve long been a Banana Pudding lover so I was quite ecstatic when, as a baby, we discovered that my daughter loved it, too. In this fabulous Peanut Butter Banana Pudding, rich, creamy homemade vanilla pudding is layered with bananas and peanut butter cookies with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a spring of fresh mint.

My Mom cooked from scratch long before it became trendy to do so. I always liked when she made homemade pudding and there is a definite flavor difference you just can’t get from any boxed pudding mix. With a little variation, this traditional vanilla pudding base can become just about any flavor you desire.

For banana pudding, my Mom always layered her pudding in a trifle dish or large glass bowl – or you can serve it in your favorite glasses as I’ve done here today. Both presentations are enjoyed by both my family and dinner guests alike.

For a completely out-of-this-world Peanut Butter Banana Pudding, start with these homemade peanut butter sandwich cookies. They’re amazing.
