Do you love a good southern recipe?


Oh good, ’cause I’ve got the best old fashioned banana pudding served in a jar recipe!!


Would you believe this recipe was actually my uncle’s??


It’s been in the family for years and is my go-to old fashioned banana pudding recipe!


There’s just something about homemade banana pudding that you can’t beat! None of that store bought boxed pudding for me!!


But, this time I added a bit of a twist, and decided to serve it in small mason jars.


Making desserts in individual jars for a get together, make a fun and creative element and also make grabbing a dessert much easier for your guests.





Ingredients for old fashioned banana pudding served in a jar


1/3 cup flour

2 1/2 cups milk

1 can condensed milk

pinch of salt

2 egg yolks

2 teaspoons vanilla

bananas

vanilla wafers

whipped cream (optional)

small mason jars

Directions for old fashioned banana pudding


Mix flour, milk, condensed milk, salt, egg yolks and vanilla together.


Pour into a saucepan over medium high heat and stir fairly consistently until thickened.


This will take about 20 minutes.


Again, you will want to watch over it and stir often so the mixture doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.


Assembling your banana pudding in jars


While your pudding is heating, you will want to crush vanilla wafers and add a small layer to each of your jars.


I did this process close by the stove, so I could continue to stir the pudding mixture.




After your pudding mixture is thickened, you will want to let a cool a bit. Then, add a small layer on top of the crushed vanilla wafers.


Top this layer with chopped up bananas, then repeat the process once more.



Serving old fashioned banana pudding in jars


The banana pudding jars can be stored in the fridge until ready to serve.


Honestly, I prefer the banana pudding warm, so I try and wait to make it close to time to serve it.


Obviously, this is a personal preference and depends on what kind of time you have before your event.


When you’re ready to serve your banana pudding jars, top each with whipped cream and garnish with a banana slice.


And that’s it!


You have a yummy homemade dessert, served in a cute and creative way.


You could even make these as favors and send one home with each guest instead of serving at your get together.




I hope you enjoyed this recipe and idea for old fashioned banana pudding served in jars!


If you try it, let me know. I love hearing from you!


blessings,

    I've never added condensed milk. It sounds deliciously creamy!

    Funny story... I called my mom to get her recipe for Banana Pudding. She told me everything over the course of an hour. I wrote everything down. I was so happy to try and make our "family recipe". She ended the call by saying, "if you lose your copy, just look on the back of the Nilla Wafer box." 😂

    I sure miss her, but what a great story!
