What to Eat with Banana Pudding Golden Corral?
You can pair your Banana Pudding with a slice of homemade banana bread, it’s my favorite combination, especially when accompanied by a cup of Outback Blackberry Sangria. The taste is incredibly irresistible. Alternatively, you can enjoy your pudding with your favorite ice cream flavors or drizzle it with sweet sauces like caramel or hot chocolate. If you prefer something other than a blackberry drink, try a hot cup of cocoa or a refreshing smoothie when gathering with friends, the pudding goes well with both.
