📜 History

Banana pudding is a beloved Southern dessert with origins dating to the late 1800s. Transforming it into a pudding shot preserves all the nostalgic flavors while adding a grown-up twist. White rum complements the banana flavor without overpowering it, while the Nilla wafer layer provides authentic texture.
