Latrell’s Easy Banana Pudding

Live your best life! That is my motto. My name is Menia L. Chester, I am a chef and owner of Desserts by Latrell and Southern Jazz and Sweets. My goal is to teach you about food, finance, anything about the home, gardening, and healthy living.

The month of May brings a couple of nationally recognized holidays and that means we get to use the grill, prepare delicious side dishes, and make special desserts. I would like to share with you one of my favorite dessert recipes…banana pudding! There are many versions of this recipe that do not involve cooking the pudding but this one uses a cooked pudding.

Special note: Make sure that your bananas are not too ripe or they will turn dark in your pudding. You can also garnish the completed dish with strawberries or blueberries!
