This Baked Banana Pudding<\/strong> is the best version of a Southern banana pudding you will ever make. It has a classic banana pudding base with butter cookies, topped with a meringue that's baked until golden brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a true Southerner, homemade banana pudding is in my blood. This Baked Banana Pudding<\/strong> recipe happens to be quite famous among my family and friends. It's an old fashioned version passed down to me from my grandmother and we make it so many times a year, I practically have it memorized! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We make the pudding layer from scratch on the stovetop, it's so much better than the instant pudding mix and takes about the same amount of time to make. My grandmother also always used butter cookies rather than vanilla wafers for layering since they have a richer flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a traditional banana pudding is layers of the pudding, banana slices, and cookies with a layer of whip cream to top. The baked <\/em>version elevates the regular recipe and is quite impressive thanks to a meringue layer on top.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now this meringue sounds intimidating, but it's SO easy. All you do is whip egg whites and sugar together until they look like whip cream. I even add my secret ingredient of marshmallow fluff for its deliciously sweet flavor. <\/strong>The meringue is mounded on top of the pudding and baked until lightly golden brown, it's true perfection in each bite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love a decadent but simple dessert<\/a>, you should also try our Coconut Meringue Pie<\/a>, White Chocolate Cake<\/a>, or Banana Split Pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
