Banana Pudding With Meringue

"This homemade Banana Pudding is a Southern dessert that's both comforting and delicious. Layers of creamy homemade vanilla pudding, soft bananas, and crunchy vanilla wafers come together with a sweet, fluffy meringue topping that's baked until golden brown. It's simple, but the flavors are so satisfying and nostalgic, just like the pudding my mother-in-law always made. Unlike a traditional banana pudding that is layered with whipped cream and refrigerated, this cozy dessert is served slightly warm or at room temperature. Instead of whipped cream, it's topped with meringue that is browned in the oven, warming up the pudding underneath. This warm banana pudding recipe is a special family favorite, passed down from my mother-in-law. She always made it fresh, serving it at room temperature or warm, right after the meringue had been baked."
