I made this Milk Chocolate Banana Pudding. It is Teh Yum. (Tip: Don't put the whipped cream and crushed cookies on till you're ready to serve it. I always do this for puddings, so the whipped cream won't water out.)
For the British, I know not of a good equivalent to Nabisco Chocolate Wafers. They're really thin chocolate biscuits. What makes this so good is that they soak up the pudding and get soft. And yes, this is kind of an American version of trifle, only with cornstarch in the custard. ("Pudding" in American English means cornstarch thickened custard.) Traditional banana pudding uses vanilla custard and Nilla Wafers, and the whites are whipped to make meringue for the top. Very Southern.
