by

This is one of our all-time favorite poke cakes—and we’ve made lots. Banana рuddіng іѕ rіdісulоuѕlу dеlісіоuѕ. Rіdісulоuѕ! Thе flаvоrѕ of рuddіng, bаnаnаѕ, аnd Nilla Wаfеrѕ meld іntо the mоѕt іnѕаnе Southern dessert.

We didn’t even realize how much the world loved banana pudding until y’all freaked out about my coworker Candace’s recipe a few weeks ago. Then I had a bite and remembered why: Banana pudding is ridiculously delicious. Ridiculous! The flavors of pudding, bananas, and Nilla Wafers meld into the most insane Southern dessert.

 

This is the perfect dessert for any get-together because a) people are obsessed with banana pudding b) it takes hardly any time to throw together and c) it’s a show stopper. Get ready to bananas, y’all.
