Why is my banana pudding liquid?
Pudding that has been stored for too long will not feel fresh anymore and start to runny. Therefore, do not let the pudding stay in the refrigerator for days so that it does not runny.
Does banana pudding contain milk?
Most banana puddings are made with instant pudding mix and sweetened condensed milk or heavy cream. I wanted to switch things up a bit and make a dairy free version that is equally delicious with the same banana flavor but without a boat load of sugar which is exactly what we have here!
