Notes
Storage:
- To Store: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. (Remember that bananas tend to brown very quickly)
- To help slow the browning process of the bananas, you can brush or dip the banana slices in lemon juice. Keep in mind that it could throw the taste off due to the sourness of the lemons.
- Do not drain the can of crushed pineapple. The juice will help the pudding thicken up.
- This dish can also be doubled or tripled if you need to feed a crowd.
