This Caramel Banana Pudding Lush features irresistible layers of caramel and banana pudding #caramel #bananapudding #bananapuddinglush #lushdesserts #dessert #dessertfoodrecipes #bananas #southernfood #southernrecipes

This Caramel Banana Pudding Lush combines the flavor of banana pudding adding a rich and buttery layer of caramel. It begins with a buttery vanilla wafer crumb crust enhanced with almonds. The next layer is made of sweetened cream cheese then caramel and banana slices and pudding then it’s topped with more whipped cream. A sprinkle of vanilla wafer crumbs, toffee bits and toasted almonds finishes each bite with a bit of crunch.

I’ve been at it again, looking for yet another way to enjoy the flavors of our beloved family favorite, Banana Pudding. For this caramel banana pudding lush, I decided to add a layer of caramel bananas for a tasty twist.Lush desserts are a readers favorite here on my website and I absolutely love conning up with new variations.  Desserts like my Chocolate Fudge Layered Lush, Lemon Lush with White Chocolate and Macadamia Nuts, Banana Split Lush and Black Forest Lush are truly all-occasion sweets. This Caramel Banana Pudding variation is just as simple to make as the other layered lush desserts on my website but, with a refreshingly different approach.  The only baking involved in the preparation is the crust, then you get to enjoy the ooey, gooey, caramel banana pudding love in each bite. It’s family tested and approved.

    Ripe, firm bananas work best for this dessert.
