Walt Disney World Recipes

Recipe from Boma Restaurant at Disney's animal Kingdom Lodge

Boma Banana Bread Pudding

Boma Banana Bread Pudding is a staple at the dessert station at the buffet at Disney’s Boma restaurant. There are so many desserts to choose from, but we always need at least a little scoop smothered in vanilla sauce.

After a meal full of aromatic and flavorful seasonings, the Boma Banana Bread Pudding is a mild, comforting dessert that just warms the soul.

Boma’s is one of our family’s favorite Disney buffet restaurants. It’s one we go back to on nearly every trip. It is full of unique dishes that we can’t typically get at restaurants near our home. But we make several of the recipes from Boma like the Carrot Ginger Soup and Durban Chicken.

In this video, we make this Disney recipe for Boma’s Banana Bread Pudding right in our Animal Kingdom resort villa in Walt Disney World. Check it out!
