This Pudding Will Be Your True-Blue, Go-To Dessert!

It looks like the Brown family now has two delicious banana pudding traditions. Here’s what Jaclyn writes about her recipe.

“Obviously I cannot compete with Grandma’s banana pudding. BUT, this recipe is AH-MAZING. The vanilla from-scratch pudding is the key. NO CHEATING with instant! Also, NO CHEATING with frozen blueberries….This recipe is extra special to me because our dear friends, the Barrows, generously share their blueberries every year.”

It’s pretty clear Jaclyn feels strongly about taking shortcuts with this recipe, but she does admit to one “cheat.”

“I will say, though, I always cheat with the whipped topping. I use Cool Whip instead of whipping my own.”
