If you are looking for a special dessert, this is the one! A twist on a delicious classic!
If you love this dish you will love the Old Fashioned Banana Pudding. This is a classic dessert that will never go out of style.
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love banana pudding, so we wanted to try it with strawberries! It didn’t disappoint. It was so refreshing, so good, and great for any occasion. This would be great for Easter, and it’s so pretty, too. Combining the homemade pudding with the strawberries, vanilla wafers, and meringue is just wonderful!
SWAPS & ADDITIONS
Some people use instant pudding to make the pudding, but we have always liked making this dish from scratch. Others would rather put whipped cream on top instead of the meringue. That is an option if you are not a fan of meringue. I also think bananas and strawberries would be delicious.
⭐TIPS
You need to cook the pudding mixture until it thickens if not it will be soupy. Stir constantly to make sure it doesn’t stick while it is cooking. Also this pudding is great served hot or cold. We usually serve it as soon as it comes out of the oven (it’s only in the oven to brown the meringue). Then enjoy it cold the next day and we enjoy it both ways.

Strawberry Pudding
This is a fabulous twist on an old fashioned classic. If you love banana pudding you must give this strawberry version a try!
- 3 to 4 cups strawberries capped and sliced
- Vanilla wafers (I use about 50 wafers to make this pudding)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup regular or 2% milk
- 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
Meringue Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
-
In a 2 quart casserole dish layer the vanilla wafers and strawberries. (I use 10 of the wafers to go around the side of the bowl just because I think it is pretty this way).
-
In a saucepan on top of the stove with a whisk mix together the sugar, salt, flour, egg yolks, and milk. Cook on medium heat, stirring continuously with whisk, about 7 or 8 minutes until thickens. (It will burn very easily so be sure to stir) Remove from stove and stir in vanilla flavoring. Pour over wafers and strawberries.
Meringue Instructions
-
Beat egg whites on high until stiff and peaks form. Add sugar and vanilla and beat into egg whites. Spread over pudding and bake in 350 degree oven until browned. (I have just put it under the broiler until it browns that way, too).
