Banana Pudding is a tropical dessert from the Ginger Island part of the game. Its recipe is bought from the Island Trader with Bone Fragments. Its key ingredient, the Banana, grows on trees whose saplings first have to be found on the island. The effort pays off in an unusual buff: the pudding raises Mining, luck and defence all at once. Abigail loves it, which makes it one of her best gifts once a farm has bananas to spare.
The in-game description reads: A creamy dessert with a wonderful tropical flavor.
Recipe
The Island Trader sells the recipe for 30 Bone Fragments. The trader keeps a stall on Ginger Island, which opens up after the Community Center is finished and Willy's boat is repaired.
The Banana is the hard part of the recipe. Banana Trees grow from Banana Saplings. The Island Trader swaps a sapling for five Dragon Teeth, which come from the Volcano Dungeon. A Golden Coconut can also hold a sapling when it is cracked open.
A sapling takes 28 days to grow into a tree. On the farm, the tree only bears fruit in Summer. On Ginger Island and in the Greenhouse, it bears fruit all year and gives one Banana a day. A Blue Discus Fish Pond with at least four fish can also produce the odd Banana.
Sugar, one of the kitchen staples the recipe needs, comes from Pierre's General Store or from Beets put through a Mill.
Like every dish, the pudding needs the kitchen in an upgraded farmhouse or a Cookout Kit. On the Beach Farm, Supply Crates that wash up on the shore can also contain one or two puddings once the farmhouse has been upgraded twice.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects
Eating Banana Pudding gives +1 Mining, +1 luck and +1 defence for about five minutes. It also restores a fair amount of energy and health.
Each buff is small, but together they suit a mining trip well, where rocks, monsters and lucky finds all come at once. The Volcano Dungeon on Ginger Island, close to where the bananas grow, is a natural place to use it.
Qi Seasoning makes the pudding stronger. A seasoned Banana Pudding is gold quality. Each of its three buffs rises by one, the buff lasts half as long again, and it restores 80 percent more energy and health.
Prices
Qi Seasoning raises the pudding's sale price by half. Banana Pudding is still a dish to eat or give rather than to sell, since its buffs and Abigail's love for it are worth more than its price.
Gifts
Abigail loves Banana Pudding. She also loves Blackberry Cobbler and Chocolate Cake, so sweet dishes are an easy way into her friendship.
Most other villagers like it, as they like most cooked dishes. Banana Pudding is a welcome gift for the older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam. Jas and Vincent like it too, and so do the Dwarf, Sandy and the Wizard. The same goes for the shop owners Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre and Robin. So do Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane.
Krobus, Leo and Willy dislike it.
These villagers love receiving Banana Pudding as a gift.

Notes
In tailoring, Banana Pudding in the Sewing Machine with Cloth makes the Banana Shirt. In the Sewing Machine and the dye pots at Emily and Haley's house, Banana Pudding acts as a yellow dye.
Banana Pudding also counts towards the cooking achievements. Those ask for ten different dishes for Cook, twenty-five for Sous Chef and every recipe for Gourmet Chef. Banana Pudding is one of the later recipes for most farms, since it waits on Ginger Island.
