Banana Pudding Lovers Month is observed every November, and it serves as a reminder of how delicious this simple dessert can be. While many people eat banana pudding straight or maybe with some vanilla Nilla Wafers, there are actually quite a few things that can be made with it.

Banana pudding can be used as a base for coconut-banana pudding, combined with chocolate pudding to make a chocolate-banana pudding trifle, turned into banana pudding pie, transformed into banana pudding cheesecake, or used as icing for a poke cake.

No matter how this pudding is enjoyed, there’s one thing that’s sure to happen: there are going to be a lot of smiling faces around the table.
