This vanilla pudding is similar to the famous banana pudding, but loaded with chunks of buttery shortbread biscuits! It's an ode to Ted Lasso and his favorite snack of all time, the biscuit!
If you're a fan of the classic banana pudding, then I think this vanilla pudding version will give you the same satisfaction! With only a few differences, it became its own unique and awesome dessert. The inspiration came from Jeni's Ice Cream and her upcoming flavor celebrating Ted Lasso and his love for biscuits. I can only imagine how good it'll taste but for now, this creamy vanilla pudding with crushed shortbread chunks will keep me happy!
