Homestyle Banana Puddings

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Church's Chicken is Adding New Banana Pudding to Its Menu

— February 22, 2022 — Lifestyle
Church's Chicken is leaning into its Souther roots in a tasty way with the debut of its new Banana Pudding.

Church's Chicken is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and a popular recipe in Georgia (as well as in many other Southern states) is Banana Pudding. This sweet dessert generally consists of sweet vanilla flavored custard, wafer cookies, and fresh banana served together with whipped cream. Church's new Banana Pudding features a sweet banana pudding base layered with crunchy Nilla Wafer cookies.

Alongside the launch of this limited-time dessert, Strawberry Blast Lemonade and Iced Tea is also making a return to the Church's Chicken menu. This new drink consists of a large lemonade or tea mixed with Wild Strawberry Flavor.
