What is Banana Pudding?

Vegan banana pudding is made by first preparing a thick vegan custard, made with non-GMO cornstarch, non-dairy milk, and vanilla.  The custard is layered with vegan cookies, coconut whipped cream, and slices of banana.

It is generally linked to Southern American cuisine; however, it can be available across the country. Moreover, it closely relates to an English trifle in that it is combined in layers and adds fruit, custard, sponge cake, and whipped cream.

Your typical banana pudding can be made utilizing a baked or refrigerated technique, with the latter being the more famous, especially among home cooks. Furthermore, many recipes have been adapted utilizing banana or vanilla pudding rather than a proper custard. Other recipes do not use wafers.

A general technique of preparing this recipe is to repeatedly layer the custard, banana, and wafers into pudding and serve with whipped cream. With time, the wafers will absorb the custard. The layers will press together, leading to the flavors to mix.
