Banana Pudding

Just another Best of the Best Recipe from my recipe file box.

Who would think that a recipe for Banana Pudding would be on a food blog!

I've had the fortunate opportunity to travel the world extensively and I've enjoyed trying new foods in every place I've visited. I've even visited a banana plantation on the island of St. Lucia.

In 1987, I had a friend that shared a family recipe for Banana Pudding.

It was the best Banana Pudding I had ever eaten in my life!

This is a Best of the Best recipe.

I've never shared this one with anyone, until I started my blog, so I hope you try it.

1 can of Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 8oz. package of cream cheese, softened.

1/3 C fresh lemon juice
