Southern Banana Pudding

How did banana pudding become a Southern thing?

Banana pudding has become a quintessential dish of the South, likely because the region is the primary place of its preparation, which lends the South a unique claim to this beloved dessert.

Enjoy these top Southern soul food banana pudding recipes, offering something for everyone. My favorite is my Black folks’ Southern banana pudding recipe that includes the secret ingredient of cream cheese! However, you can also find variations made with meringue, whipped cream, or chocolate pudding. If you’re looking for convenience, you can easily prepare it using instant pudding or even in an Instant Pot.

Just a heads up: in this case, using the Instant Pot isn’t actually faster than making pudding from scratch on the stovetop!
