This is definitely a cookie lover's version. Serve right away if you like crispy cookies, or chill over night for softer texture. Delicious served warm, at room temperature, or chilled. If you omit the meringue, You won't need to bake the pudding. This recipe launched a career for Christy Jordan. Christy's first post was the recipe for her favorite made from scratch banana pudding. This vanilla wafer-filled dessert is even better the next day. Her cook book is Southern Plate
