It is commonly associated with Southern U.S. cuisine,
however, it can be found around the country.
Furthermore, it closely resembles an English Trifle in that it is assembled in layers and includes custard, fruit, sponge cake, and whipped cream.
It can be prepared using a baked or refrigerated method, with the latter being the more popular, particularly among home cooks.
Moreover, many recipes have been adapting using vanilla pudding instead of a true custard.
Other recipes omit the wafers.
An early Banana Pudding recipe was published in “The Kentucky Receipt Book,” by Mary Harris Frazer, in 1903.
However, even this recipe does not include wafers.
