About Banana Pudding
Golden Corral Banana Pudding costs from $2.99 and carries 380 calories. Layers of vanilla pudding, sliced banana and vanilla wafers, chilled long enough for the wafers to soften into a cake like layer, which is the whole point of the dish.
Banana pudding is the most southern item on the dessert bar and the one regulars in Texas, North Carolina and Georgia head for first. It is also the easiest to overdo, because it eats light and cold after a heavy tray. The recipe below uses a real cooked custard rather than instant, which is what separates good pudding from a box mix.

How to Make Banana Pudding at Home?
A cooked custard takes 15 minutes and tastes completely different from instant pudding. The overnight chill is what turns wafers into cake layers.

Tips
- Ripe bananas with brown spots have the flavor. Firm yellow ones taste of nothing.
- Press plastic directly on the custard surface or you get a skin.
- Assemble the day before. Same day banana pudding has crunchy wafers and misses the point.
Variations
- Use shortbread cookies instead of vanilla wafers.
- Add a layer of caramel between the banana and custard.
- Top with meringue and brown it under the broiler.
Serving Ideas
- Serve cold in glasses for individual portions.
- Add a wafer on top of each serving for texture contrast.
- Serve alongside coffee at the end of a heavy meal.
