In 2 at dish, line with vanilla wafers. Top with sliced bananas. Pour 1/2 custard mixture over bananas;
Repeat. Top with layer of wafers.
In chilled bowl beat egg whites with 1/8tsp of cream of tartar (hand mixer works best). Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar til soft peaks. Fold in 1/4 tsp vanilla. Spread over top wafer layer.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Bake 20-25 mins till meringue is golden brown.

Thanks. I would like to make a red velvet cake. I want to make it for Xmas or new years.
Right on time. Craving a banana pudding and was just about to dig out an old recipe. This one sounds “yummy”. Gonna try it!!
Made it and it was very good, next time I’ll use the banana flavored pudding mix to give it a little more flavor.
