From Scratch Banana Pudding

We were attending a get together with some friends and I was in charge of dessert. I always try to do something different and I'm allergic to cinnamon and J is allergic to chocolate. So....our dessert options are usually pretty limited. I'm researching and expanding out dessert menu though! A friend asked if I had a banana pudding recipe because she loves it. Well...I had one in my cookbook, but I had never made it. I stepped out of my comfort zone and it turned out pretty tasty. It was a little sweeter than I anticipated but everyone seemed to enjoy it. I actually made two new desserts that evening and will post the other recipe later.
