PDK’s Banana Pudding
2015 Winner of Best in the Nation Banana Pudding!
Place immediately in refrigerator or freezer.
Use within 48 hours of delivery. Suggestion....add fresh bananas to the top or pour in a bowl and mix with sliced bananas.
Why don’t we add bananas to your pudding?
Bananas contain an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase which reacts to oxygen causing them to turn brown. Although it has little impact on the taste, it does impact texture and just looks gross. Therefore, to make the most out of this, we provide the banana for you to add to the pudding or just eat it on your own. Best enjoyed within 48 hours of delivery or you can freeze for a later date.
The frozen pudding makes an awesome treat as well.
