Linda's NOTE: My husband liked this but requested no vanilla wafers the next time I make this banana pudding. He said a graham cracker crust would be better. I'll try it that way. Sounds like a banana cream pie to me! In fact, he said this pudding would make a great Tompouce filling. I agree!!

  2. That sounds good, Linda!
    At HEMA you get banana cream slices, so such a strange idea is not!
    Have a nice week!

    With love, Gerry
