I'm an experience cook/foodie. I made this recipe in spite of my hunch that two cups of mile would not make enough pudding. Well...it definitely didn't make enough pudding to use all the banans and wafers called for. I double checked the recipe to confirm that I did it correctly. Read the beginning of the instructions...it says to whip all ingredients to stiff peaks. I know that's wrong but newbies wouldn't. Amount of sugar in whipped cream is ok for adding to the pudding but definitely not enough for topping. In spite of getting good reviews, I know that there are several problems and my banana pudding for Memorial day is lacking many wafers and banana slices because there was not near enough pudding. Dissapointment in food network

My 13 year old son is the biggest fan and critic of Banana Pudding and this recipe did not fail me for my Thanksgiving this year!! This is the first time I have ever made a homemade custard or pudding. I had no problem with it whatsoever. It came out perfect; just need alittle patience whisking. I did add 1/4 tsp of banana extract to the custard w/the vanilla and I did not use the nuts for fear he would not like it (next time I will add them as I think it will be a great additional texture and flavor.... reading the review below, if you decide to use corn starch to thicken the custard quicker, make sure you 1/2 the amount as corn starch is like double the amount of flour, just a suggestion. Anyway, this was a great tasting pudding and unfortunately, I don't have any leftovers! I almost want to whip up another batch right now!

This was delicious, but a little bit runny. I think that next time I will use corn starch instead of the flour. It eliminates the flour taste and thickens better.

Brought this to a new year's open house and everyone loved it. Used confectioners sugar instead of regular sugar in the whipped cream... increased it a bit too. Added about 1 cup of the whipped cream to the custard, and topped the trifle with chopped toffeed nuts. A keeper!

added additional sugar to the whip cream mixture. after vanilla pudding mixture cooled added about half the whipped cream and skipped the nuts on top`. my husband was asking for seconds and he never liked my mothers, sisters, mine or any store bought banana pudding before this.

I made this recipe tonight...and it came out FABULOUS. I did add an additional tablespoon of sugar to the whip cream mixture (which, BTW, is the 2 cups of heavy cream, 2 teaspoons of vanilla and the 2 teaspoons of sugar.. This made for an AWESOME whipped cream for any dessert! At first the vanilla pudding mixture tasted a little too floury for me..but once I folded in about HALF the whipped cream (NOT the 1/2 cup, it was A LOT better.. As far as the trifle set up..I think that can be arranged based on your preference.. Also, I left out the nuts. Overall, I rate this Banana Pudding recipe as Bananalicious and I will definitely make it again!

Absolutely delicious! I'll happily remake this again and again. The only thing I'll change is to add an additional 2 T. of flour to get a little thicker custard. I highly recommend this recipe.

The pudding itself was very good, I just couldn't get the whipped cream mixture quite right (not thick enough. Nevertheless, it was very good.

It was my first time making banana pudding. I made it for Thanksgiving and it was delicous. I had to add a little more whipping cream to the custard and had plenty of cream for the top. I thought adding the nut/wafer combo on top was a nice touch. Wonderful! I may make it again for Christmas!

Made this for the first time on Sunday and it was a big hit. Needs to set up in the refridgerator overnight. Reminds me of banana cream pie without the crust. Can't wait to make it again!
