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?

How to Make Cupcakes with PEEPS on Top

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with liners.

Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions.

Separate the batter into two bowls. Add the strawberry Jello to one bowl and the berry blue Jello to the second bowl. Stir to mix until the Jello is fully incorporated into the batter.

Fill each cupcake liner around 2/3 full of the cake batter and bake according to the package instructions.

Allow the cupcakes to cool completely, then prepare the icing by beating together the butter and vanilla until smooth and well combined.

Add one cup of powdered sugar and one tablespoon of milk and beat until smooth.

Add two more cups of powdered sugar and one tablespoon of milk and beat.

Then, add the remaining powdered sugar and beat to combine. If the icing is too thick, add more milk as needed.

Separate the icing into two bowls. Add the pink food coloring to one bowl and the blue food coloring to the other bowl. Stir until the colors are fully mixed.

Pipe the pink icing on top of the strawberry cupcakes and the blue icing on top of the blue cupcakes.

Place a pink bunny marshmallow PEEP on top of the pink cupcakes and a blue bunny PEEP on top of the blue cupcakes.
