Banana pudding, a Southern classic, is traditionally made with vanilla pudding instead of banana pudding; this unusual choice actually enhances its flavor profile while allowing for customization.
Using banana pudding may introduce an artificial flavor; a better option is to combine vanilla pudding with banana extract for a more natural flavor that retains the essence of banana.
When selecting pudding for banana pudding, opt for 'instant' pudding rather than 'cook and serve' to maintain proper layering and to ensure ease of preparation, as the latter doesn’t set well.
To elevate banana pudding, consider adding a twist by flambéing the bananas, creating a bananas Foster variation that adds depth and complexity to the dessert.
