Michael Voltaggio's Banana Bread Pudding
Save room for dessert! Chef Michael Voltaggio's riff on the famous banana pudding from Wilber's Barbecue & Restaurant in Goldsboro, North Carolina, combines vanilla wafers and bread cubes with a creamy banana custard. Then the rich pudding is baked until golden brown and topped with vanilla wafer ice cream. This is down-home comfort food at its finest.

Wonderful!
February 22, 2012
Made this and the Vanilla Wafer Ice Cream and both were a BIG hit. I used french bread in place of white bread with no problems. My only issue is both this and the ice cream make for very small servings - I would recommend doubling the recipes for each since folks will want seconds.
Pros: Impressive, Will Make Again

Pour On Some Carmel!
July 20, 2011
The dessert looked great and the pudding was moist but it wasn't sweet enough for me. I ended up drizzling carmel topping over the individual pudding servings and ice cream. Next time I will add an additional banana or two for more banana flavor.
Pros: Appearance, made from things i had on hand
Cons: Taste

It was a hit!

Took a little extra work but was WAY better than a bought cake for Father's day celebration. Served it to my inlaws and my father inlaw was ready to eat it before it was even baked!
Pros: Will Make Again

Make this!!

I made a few alterations:
Used hallah bread, crust cut off.
Roasted 3 large bananas.
Added 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.
Soaked bread for 10 min, not an hour.

I love the addition of the cinnamon! This is a wonderful combination of my favorite flavors! Will definately be passing this recipe along and plan to make it for Father's Day for our banana-loving Dad!

A little complicated, but worth it!
June 6, 2011
I started making this at about 9:00 p.m. one night and barely managed to take it out of the oven before 11 p.m. But though it was a little complicated (water baking in the oven?), I love bread pudding, and this was delicious. I used bakery hamburger buns for the bread, and the result was fantastic. Made 9 servings at 377 calories each. :-)
A great way to use up bread and bananas.
Pros: Good Value, Appearance, Will Make Again
Cons: Complicated, Lengthy
