Banana pudding is a beloved Southern dessert made by layering vanilla pudding, sliced bananas, and vanilla wafers (or sometimes sponge cake), then topping it with whipped cream or meringue. It’s typically served chilled, allowing the layers to meld into a creamy, nostalgic treat. Though versions date back to the late 19th century, it became especially popular in the American South, where it remains a staple at cookouts, church gatherings, and Sunday dinners. Some recipes use instant pudding for convenience, while traditional versions are made with homemade custard.

Common variations include banana pudding with cream cheese, banana pudding cups, or versions made with homemade custard instead of boxed mix.
