Individual Banana Puddings

Recipe modified by You Want Me to Cook? – August 25, 2011

Individual Banana Puddings recipe originally published in All You – April 2011.

I’ll be honest, I often pick recipes based on what I want to eat. That’s not to say that I don’t take my husband’s taste into account – I know what he likes and doesn’t like and wouldn’t force him to eat something he would hate – but for the most part I’m the one who sets the menu for the week.

This recipe is all about him though.

He LOVES banana pudding and can even whip up a quickie batch using instant pudding and Cool Whip. I enjoy making pudding from scratch so when I saw this recipe, I knew he would love it.

First I need to state the obvious… it isn’t an individual pudding serving. I really wanted to try the recipe, but don’t own ramekins. I know. THE HORROR! I found a serving dish that would accommodate the amount of pudding, bananas and cookies and made it as a dessert dish. This picture is of an individual serving. My pudding looks thicker and seems to be more banana and cookie than “puddingish”.
