Host Shaunda Necole takes us through the history and significance of a classic soul food dessert: Southern banana pudding – the Black way. From its African roots to its quintessentially Southern preparation, Southern banana pudding has a special place in the hearts – and taste buds – of many. Shaunda answers, “Is banana pudding a Black thing?” and discusses its history and cultural significance, tracing its roots back to Africa.
Shaunda, with her mom, Mama (Ma-Ma) Mary, gives tips and tricks for making the perfect banana pudding, including using certain ingredients and avoiding common mistakes, including the importance of using Nilla Wafer cookies and whole milk.
Finally, they reveal Mama Mary’s classic banana pudding from scratch recipe (old school soul food banana pudding) and the only substitutions for making banana pudding the Black way!
