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 Oreo Pudding Cups

Whisk together the chocolate pudding and milk until all the pudding has been dissolved, around 5 minutes.

Allow the pudding to rest for 5 minutes until thickened.

Cover the bottom of each cup with crushed Oreos, then fill the cup half full of pudding. 

Top the pudding layer with another layer of crushed Oreos.

Fill each cup with pudding, leaving a small amount of space at the top of the cup for decorations.

Sprinkle a thin layer of Oreo cookies over the top of each cup.

Pour the shredded coconut into a zip-top bag and add 3 to 4 drops of green food coloring. Seal the bag and squeeze the coconut in the bag to coat the pieces in food coloring. Continue squishing the food coloring into the coconut until all the pieces have been dyed.

Sprinkle the green coconut over the top of each pudding cup.

Press one bunny and one chick Peeps into the top of each cup, then decorate with each cup with three chocolate eggs.

Variations

• Use Pistachio pudding with crushed Oreos
• Make a trifle by layering each ingredient a couple of times. You could even add some angel food cake in between the layers.
• Make it in to a cake. Place layers in a cake pan instead of cups.
