Banana Pudding Extravaganza
Just look at this glorious creation! It’s like a hug in a bowl, and trust me when I say, sharing it is optional. Now, let’s take a shift from reality and glance at this delicious treat:
Ingredients
- 1 box (5.1 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 box (11 ounces) vanilla wafers
- Optional: Whipped cream or additional vanilla wafers for topping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk it like you mean it until smooth and creamy—yes, get your arm workout in!
- Next, add the sweetened condensed milk to the pudding mixture and stir until it’s all blended into a deliciously rich concoction that would make any dessert jealous.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping. Go slow here, we want the fluffiness to stay, not turn into a sad kitchen fail!
- Slice the bananas into round slices and get ready for the layering action. Grab a glass dish and start with a layer of vanilla wafers. Next, add a layer of the pudding mixture, followed by a sprinkle of banana slices.
- Repeat the layering until you run out of ingredients—aim for at least three layers. Top it off with any leftover pudding and some crushed vanilla wafers for that legendary crunch!
- Cover your creation with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can resist! We know it’s tough, but patience is a virtue.
- Finally, serve it up in bowls or just dive in with a spoon straight from the dish (we won’t tell!). If you’re feeling extra fancy, top with whipped cream or extra banana slices!
And there you have it—the best banana pudding recipe that’ll leave you and your friends begging for seconds! So whip up that deliciousness and prepare for everyone to ask you for the secret—your answer? Just a sprinkle of love and a dash of humor!
