Helpful Tips For Making The Best Banana Pudding Ever

* Make sure your bananas are not too green or too ripe. You want to use what you would consider a perfectly ripe banana.

* Feel free to use homemade whipped cream or store bought cool whip for this recipe. Both will work well. 

* I always use whole milk in this recipe but any type of milk should work fine. 

* The banana pudding will stay good for 3 days when stored tightly covered in the refrigerator. After this time the bananas will start to turn brown. The pudding will still taste good, but it just won’t look as appealing with the brown bananas. But honestly this dessert is so delicious, it never lasts more than a day or two in my house!
