FAQs
1. Can I use almond milk instead of regular milk for this recipe?
Yes, you can. However, the pudding might not be as thick as it would be with regular milk.
2. Is it possible to make the pudding without using sweetened condensed milk?
It’s possible, but the condensed milk adds richness and sweetness to the pudding.
3. Will the bananas brown if I store the pudding overnight?
The bananas may oxidize over time, causing them to brown. However, storing the pudding in an airtight container in the fridge can significantly slow the process.
