This recipe uses a larger pan for the dessert. If you prefer, you could use individual parfait bowls or other serving vessels. Sometimes people prefer to have a little more of some layers than others. It could be a way to customize each dessert.
Additionally, you could cheat and use a box pudding or a pre-made pudding. Semi-homemade treats are totally acceptable. While the pudding might not have the same “love” as this homemade version, not everyone is ready to temper eggs and use cornstarch. Sometimes small steps can help build confidence in the kitchen.
With summer around the corner, this Double Banana Pudding recipe would be perfect for an outdoor barbecue or a Sunday dinner. Plus, it uses that banana bread that you made, which helps to keep food waste to a minimum.
