    Mama would get up on Sunday and bake a banana pudding, a roast or whatever for Sunday lunch and get us all ready for church and there on time. No idea how she got it all done. It sure was nice to come home from church and lunch be all ready though.

    My mother made it from scratch but she didn’t use meringue she just cooked the pudding and put plastic film on it to let it cook and not form the skin on top. Then she put into her serving bowl and layered inputting down cookies then banana slices then more pudding and then bananas with cookie on top. Then she kept it refreshing. I hate bananas but my late husband loved banana pudding so I made them for him but I would get a small bowl and make myself a little pudding with just nilla wafers. Sometimes I would add coconut to mine. Coconut creme pie is my favorite.

    I remember both instant and cooked banana pudding as a child depending on the amount of time they had. I liked both versions as long as those awful Nilla wafers were not on it. Nobody ate those.

    Stainless steel stays cooler which is why your egg whites setup better in it. Next time, try chucking it in the fridge or freezer for a little bit before you whip up your egg whites. It'll cut down the mixing time by a bit.

    Tammy, have you ever used Chessman Cookies instead of vanilla wafers? Just curious if you like that too. My son-in-law asked for banana pudding and I have never made it. I will definitely make your recipe, just curious about the Chessman cookies?
