Fried Banana Pudding Recipe
The Fried Banana Pudding Recipe is a fun twist on a classic dessert. It’s creamy, crispy, and full of banana flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas sliced
- 2 cups vanilla pudding store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Oil for frying
- Powdered
Instructions
Make the Pudding
- If you’re using homemade pudding, prepare it first. Chill it for at least 30 minutes so it’s firm.
Add Bananas
- Fold the banana slices gently into the pudding. Mix until they blend well but don’t mash them.
Shape and Freeze
- Scoop small balls of the banana pudding mix. Place them on a tray and freeze for 1 hour. This helps them hold shape during frying.
Prepare the Coating
- Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with crushed wafers.
Coat Each Pudding Ball
- Take each frozen pudding ball. Roll in flour, dip in egg mix, and coat with the crumb mixture. Make sure it’s fully covered.
Heat the Oil
- Pour oil into a frying pan and heat to medium-high. It should be hot but not smoking.
Fry Until Golden
- Add pudding balls to the hot oil. Fry for 1–2 minutes until golden and crispy. Turn gently to cook evenly.
Drain and Serve
- Place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm for the best taste.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness.
- Don’t skip freezing — it keeps the pudding firm.
- Use a mix of wafers and breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
- Fry in small batches to avoid crowding the pan.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel for a sweet finish.
