Fantastic! Made this for my Thanksgiving dinner (without the liquor. There's no need for any other recipe. I did add 1 additional tsp of sugar to the whipped cream to make it a tad sweeter. Besure to use REAL whipped cream on top. I could eat the entire bowl. And...it's super easy to make. Thanks for a quick, delicious recipe.

My son wanted a conventional banana cream pie and all the recipes called for packaged vanilla pudding. Used the pudding/custard portion of this recipe with a graham cracker crust and sliced bananas topped with whipped cream. Amazing. Now my son just wants the vanilla pudding....

Great homemade banana pudding. I didn't use the banana liquor or whipped cream but it turned out great. Used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of whole milk and it was fine. A keeper.

Delicious!

Another option for those concerned about the liquor taste: Instead of pouring it over the wafers, mix in a tablespoon or so with the whipped cream. You get some banana flavor without all the boozy taste.

Tastes just as good without the liquor at all if you want to serve kids.

I agree with one of the reviewers about the banana liquor, if you plan on serving it after putting together, that strong taste killed it. Seems like the wafer absorbed the banana taste from the liquor and just left the liquor to be tasted (bleh. I had in the refrigerator for another 6 hours or and took a taste again, and the liquor taste went down considerably. Next day, 18 hours or so, completely gone. So, I'll give it a 5*, for as long as you let that alcohol do whatever it does over those hours after final assembly.

*Update Another person who I sampled this to really got to taste the alcohol and it had been about 5 days after assembly. So, I'm changing my stance and rating, nix the booze.

This recipe would be much better without the banana liquor. I suggest taking it out all together.. The layers of nilla wafers end up having a strong alcohol flavor that doesn't quite gel with the sweetness of the custard.

Great banana pudding recipe, with a few changes -- turbinado instead of granulated, unsweetened soy instead of whole milk, and skipped the whipped cream. I was a little concerned about the stick of butter, thought it might be too rich; but it wasn't at all. Turned out perfectly!!! And I like not having to scald the milk separately. Ratio of ingredients is perfect.

I will definitely re-use and share this with my family. Thanks Alton -- this definitely 'Good Eats'!

The whole family loved it. Homemade pudding - why would any ever used boxed once they've had homemade?

Excellent recipe. I did substitute 1 cup of water with 1/4 cup banana syrup in place of the banana liquor. This had the best flavor without the alcohol.
