In this episode of Everyday Cooks Recipe Club, Kelly and Stephanie test out different banana pudding recipes. Stephanie makes her Mom’s recipe, but Kelly had to research a recipe. She came across a blog that shared the recipe for Magnolia Bakery’s Famous Banana Pudding. Kelly picked it because it didn’t have a lot of ingredients and found out that it is delicious!!

In this episode, we talk about:

• Where our recipes came from
• If we use vanilla pudding or banana pudding
• If we use milk or sweetened condensed milk
• If we use Nilla wafers or Chessman cookies
• If we make our own whipped cream or use cool whip
• How long our recipes took
• How each of us prepared the recipes (and where we improvised!)
• Our honest thoughts on flavor, texture, and whether it’s worth making again
