Banana pudding is a classic Southern dessert that can be enjoyed year-round. However, when you want to enjoy it straight from the freezer, there are a few things you need to know in order to thaw frozen banana pudding correctly.
First, it's important to note that you should never try to thaw banana pudding by microwaving it. This will cause the pudding to become watery and lose its creamy texture. Instead, place the frozen pudding in the refrigerator and allow it to thaw overnight.
Once the pudding has thawed, give it a good stir before serving. You may find that some of the bananas have sunken to the bottom during freezing, so stirring will help distribute them evenly throughout the pudding. Serve chilled or at room temperature - both ways are delicious!
