It's National Banana Day today and my favorite way to enjoy bananas is in banana pudding. This banana pudding tacos recipe combines my love of banana pudding and waffles. I usually prefer Belgian style waffles but the regular square waffles work easier for these "shells". The Belgian style waffles work too but you just end up with a thicker "shell" that doesn't want to fold as well.
This banana pudding tacos recipe calls for premade banana pudding (if you don't have any already made then yes a container of the store made kind works just as well). No judgement around this house. it's all made with love. You'll need about 3 cups of banana pudding and that should get you about 12 filled waffles. The waffle "taco shells" are made with pancake batter. If you don't have a taco stand or a way to keep the waffles folded in half then this totally can be a banana pudding waffle. You would just make the waffles by the recipe below and just top them with the banana pudding.
