Since banana pudding contains dairy ingredients the banana pudding cannot and should not be left out overnight.

When your pudding contains dairy it should always be kept in the refrigerator overnight or if not eating it or serving the pudding within a few hours.

If the banana pudding was left out overnight you should throw it out as it likely has gone bad because the dairy would've spoiled.

Pudding will keep airtight in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

The banana slices don't turn brown, although the wafers do continue soften as time passes.

Banana pudding needs to be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent the absorption of surrounding food aromas.

If stored in this way, the banana pudding will last for 4 days in the refrigerator.

Banana pudding is a dessert generally consisting of layers of sweet vanilla flavored custard, cookies and sliced fresh bananas placed in a dish and served, topped with whipped cream or meringue.

It is commonly associated with Southern American cuisine, but it can be found around the country and specific areas.
