Best banana pudding I've ever made! My family thought it was amazing. DO NOT leave out the cinnamon, the flavor is what makes it better than regular pudding.

Everyone loved it! I omitted the cinnamon, just seemed too risky for a classic desseert.

This banana pudding does add a flare. However, I do perfer the tradional banana pudding. The crust is absolutely superb. Didn't care much for the cinnamon hint, but my family loved it. Would make this dessert on special occasions.
