In Melissa Sperka's new book "Melissa's Southern Cookbook: Tried and True Family Recipes" she writes, "Banana pudding is an obsession and I’ve never found a variation that I didn’t like. Clearly, I’m not alone. Banana pudding is so popular that you’re likely to find several versions proudly displayed on the dessert table at any special get-together."
"Traditionally, this is a layered dessert very much like a trifle, making it the perfect choice for these easy-to-assemble parfaits. It’s the luscious homemade vanilla custard that sets this banana pudding apart, and the parfait glasses make for a spectacular presentation, too," she adds.
Cook’s note: Depending on the size of the parfait glasses, the yield may vary slightly.
