There are few sweet treats more Tex-Mex, or more traditional barbecue, than this churro banana pudding. The churro “bites” provide little morsels of cinnamon-y crunch between layers of creamy banana pudding custard and fluffy homemade whipped cream. I much prefer using Mexican vanilla extract to generic vanilla extract. Mexican vanilla is two to three times stronger and often offers spicy, woody notes, which complement barbecue incredibly well.
