How Do You Keep Bananas From Turning Brown in Pudding

Bananas turn brown when exposed to the air. Covering the bananas with whipped topping will keep them from turning brown.

A trick I learned a long time ago to keep bananas from turning brown in the pudding was to soak them in lemon juice before adding them to the pudding or pie.

However, I never was a big fan of the taste. After more research, I found that you can soak them in lemon-lime soda and the carbonation will keep the bananas from turning brown.

Plus, the lemon-lime soda does not change up the flavor.

Does Homemade Banana Pudding Need to be Refrigerated

The simple answer is yes. Since the banana pudding is made with milk, it is best to keep it refrigerated until you are ready to serve it.

Can I make the Southern Banana Pudding Ahead of Time

Yes, the pudding can be made ahead of time. However, don’t add the crushed Vanilla wafers or bananas to it until almost ready to serve. The vanilla wafers will get soggy.

Is Pudding Still Good After a Week

If you still have the banana pudding after a week, that’s a problem, lol. It doesn’t last for more than a day or two at the most in our house. However, I would get rid of it after 5 days.

Do You Serve Grandma’s Banana Pudding Hot or Cold

We normally serve this combination of pudding mixed with whipped cream, bananas, and ‘nilla wafers cold. Did you know that traditional southern banana pudding is served warm?

What Alcohol Goes Well in Jello Shots

I chose Whipped Cream Vodka for this recipe. However, you can use any Vodka or even rum in place if you would like.

Vodka normally has no flavor. However, the whipped cream vodka is a combination of vanilla and cream and gives the jello shots a light sweet taste.

How to Make Layered Easter Jello Shots

Line your cups up on a baking sheet that will fit them. No lids.

Place your yellow jello in a medium mixing bowl and add ½ cup boiling water. Mix until no graininess remains.

Add ¾ cup vodka and ½ cup cold water to the bowl. Mix well.

Using the injector, fill up each shot cup a third of the way.

Place in the fridge for an hour or until solidified.

Repeat steps 2-4 but use the grape jello instead.

Once the purple jello has solidified, repeat steps 2-4 for the pink jello.

Once the last layer has solidified, top with some whipped cream, if desired, and enjoy!

Tips for Easter Jello Shots:

Do not add whipped cream to the top of your shots if you’re not serving them right away. You’ll want to keep lids on your shots and top them right before serving.
For some strange reason, I had to go through three grape jello boxes as it seemed to react differently than the other flavors. If you have an issue with it not setting up, add less liquid, starting with the alcohol. You can also place it in the freezer before placing the last layer on.
You can use any vodka or alcohol you prefer, just don’t go over ¾ cup alcohol in each layer as it won’t solidify if you do.
Don’t try and add a new layer until the layer below it is solid. If it’s runny at all, it will make the colors mix.
You can keep these in the fridge for up to 5 days, with lids.
You can use other means to get the liquid in the cups. However, I have not found anything that works as quickly or cleanly as the injector. Strange? Maybe, but it works.
