One thing that makes a decadent banana pudding recipe is not the bananas but the filling. There are several variations of the southern dessert, and items can be added based on the flavors of the creator. A Southern Original For a simple pudding, get a glass bowl and prepare your filling. This should be a box of vanilla pudding and a box of banana pudding. Prepare these separately, and then mix them together to use as layers between the vanilla wafers and bananas. Start at the bottom of the bowl with a layer of wafers. Choose a brand that is hard in consistency so that the wafer can absorb the moisture from the pudding. Spoon enough pudding to cover the wafers. Add a layer of sliced bananas, and continue this pattern until it gets to just under the top of the bowl. The top layer should be whipped cream with a few banana slices scattered around the edges. Banana Pudding Bites These are ideal for children who like to eat the same things as their parents but on a smaller scale. It does take about four hours for the bites to set. There are very few ingredients used in this recipe. Use three bananas, and cut each piece into 12 slices. Prepare one pack of vanilla pudding. The cook and serve pudding is best for this recipe because you can get it to a thicker consistency. Cover the pudding, and place it in a refrigerator until it is set. Put a few vanilla wafers on a plate, and put a slice of banana on each wafer. Using a teaspoon or a piping bag, put a small amount of pudding on top of the bananas. Crumble about four wafers to use on top of the pudding. Don't prepare the bites until they are going to be served because the pudding could start to lose its form after sitting in the open air.
