RatingDifficultyBeginner

If you love bananas then you love banana pudding, right? My Nana used to make banana pudding for us when we did well (or got good grades) in school! Well, if you know anything about Caribbean folks and desserts, they do not like "tings" too sweet! Nana would add sweetened condensed milk to her pudding to replace some of the sugar. This offers a subtle sweetness in the pudding which allows the flavors of the cookies and the bananas to truly come through.
