Storing Info
STORE. Cover and refrigerate leftover recipe for banana pudding cake for 3-5 days. The bananas will brown and the wafers will become soft, but will still taste delicious. If making ahead of time, store in the refrigerator without the topping, and then add bananas, whipped topping + crackers when ready to serve. FREEZE. Do not add the cookies or whipped cream to the easy banana pudding until you’re ready to serve. Wait until the cake has cooled and the pudding has set. Freeze the whole cake or cut it into pieces. Flash freeze to further set the pudding. After a couple of hours in the freezer, remove and wrap the cake with plastic wrap then again with aluminum foil. Label and store for up to 3 months.
