This was my first time making a banana pudding from scratch. Actually it was the first time I ever made any kind of pudding that didn't come out of a box mix. I made this for my son who loves anything banana flavored and he really liked this. I found this recipe here on Allrecipes.com I read thru a lot of the reviews first and noticed that some people had issues with it coming out thin and runny. I made sure the pudding mixture became very thick before I removed it from the heat and it came out perfect. I also added 4 bananas instead of just two like in the original recipe. Super yum!
