When it comes to Southern comfort desserts, banana pudding is at the top of the list. Baby, there is nothing like that perfect combination of creamy pudding, soft vanilla wafers, and sweet sliced bananas.
But this is Ne’s Kitchen, and you know we like to switch things up! I’m taking everything we love about classic banana pudding and serving it in three fun new ways. Some are frozen, some are absolutely gorgeous, and every single one is downright delicious.
If you’re looking to put a fun twist on a Southern classic this summer, I’ve got you covered. Here are three creative and seriously delicious ways to serve banana pudding that will have your family asking for seconds.
1. Banana Pudding Ice Cream Pops
If you have little ones running around this summer, or if you just love a good grab-and-go snack, you have to try turning your pudding into ice cream pops! These Banana Pudding Ice Cream Pops are fun, creamy, and super satisfying for this summer heat! Grab the full kid-friendly step by by recipe below:
2. Frozen Banana Pudding
I know what you’re thinking: Frozen banana pudding?! Trust me on this one. My family begs me to make it for every cookout, and they’ve honestly started loving it even more than traditional banana pudding. Freezing it gives the creamy pudding a thick, almost ice cream-like texture that’s absolutely perfect for hot summer days.
3. Trifle Bowl Banana Pudding
If you’re hosting a summer cookout or family reunion, you need a gorgeous dessert like this! Serving banana pudding in a clear glass trifle bowl has become one of my favorite ways to present it. You get to see the beautiful layers of vanilla wafers and banana slices pressed against the glass with fluffy, creamy banana pudding in between. And baby you better believe it tastes just as good as it looks!
