Baked Banana Pudding

Description

The taste of this banana pudding is amazing, it will delight all sweet lovers. I'd recommend following all the steps exactly, but if you'd like, you can replace the meringue with whipped cream, decorating the baked pudding with it afterwards—it will turn out great too.
