Before we get started, let’s gather our weaponry—err, I mean, ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pack of vanilla wafers
  • 4 ripe bananas (the riper, the better!)
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1 pack (5.1oz) of instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups of whipped cream (homemade or store-bought, no judgment here!)
  • Optional: A sprinkle of crushed wafers on top for some extra oomph!

Let’s Get Cooking!

Now that we have our ingredients, here comes the fun part: bringing this banana magic to life!

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cold milk with the instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk it like you mean it for about 2 minutes, or until it’s thick and smooth. Channel your inner whisking champion!
  2. Fold in the whipped cream gently. We want it fluffy, not deflated like my hopes of winning the lottery!
  3. Now, in a serving dish, start layering. First, a layer of vanilla wafers, then a layer of banana slices (about 1 banana per layer). Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients (or just get lazy).
  4. Finally, pour the pudding mixture over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Don’t be shy; go all the way to the edges!
  5. Top it off with any remaining whipped cream and sprinkle crushed wafers for that extra touch of fancy!

Chill Time!

Cover your creation with plastic wrap (to avoid dust bunnies joining the party) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long. It’s like a spa day for your banana pudding!

Once chilled, grab a spoon, dig in, and enjoy every delightful bite of this Easy Banana Pudding! You’ll want to make it again and again, and guess what? You totally can! Now go share some love (and dessert) with family and friends!
