Tips
- Mixing all homemade ingredients before putting them into a pan makes it easier.
- Stir the pudding mixture until your arms fall off, or for about 20 minutes, depending on desired thickness.
- Cool the homemade pudding in a wide bowl for faster cooling.
- For the box mix, use whipped cream cheese for easier mixing.
- Adding cinnamon powder and nutmeg to the box mix adds an extra special flavor.
- Letting the box pudding mixture sit for 3-4 minutes is important for it to thicken.
- Gently fold in Cool Whip to make the banana pudding nice, airy, and fluffy, and to calm down the sweetness a little bit.
