Banana Pudding
Description
Banana Pudding starts by preparing instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk, then chilling it briefly. Separately, cream cheese is beaten with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth, then gently folded with whipped topping for lightness. This mixture is combined with the pudding to create a creamy filling.
The pudding is assembled by layering the creamy mixture alternately with vanilla wafer cookies and sliced ripe bananas, creating contrast between the creamy pudding, crunchy wafers, and fresh fruit. The layering is repeated multiple times, finishing with a top layer of pudding.
Covered and refrigerated overnight, the flavors meld and the cookies soften slightly without losing all texture, resulting in a rich yet tender dessert. It is often served chilled as a cool, sweet finish to meals or gatherings.
Ingredients
For the pudding mix
- 2 boxes Instant pudding mix Vanilla or French Vanilla
- 2 cups milk whole, oat or almond, cold
- 14oz sweetened condensed milk
- 8oz oftened cream cheese room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 2 boxes vanilla wafers
- 4 banana ripe
- 1 box chessman cookies optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sweet condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Slowly fold in cool whip. Continue folding until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pudding, ensuring a smooth and uniform consistency.
- Pour a layer of the pudding mixture over the cookies, spreading it evenly.
- Add another layer of vanilla wafer cookies, followed by another layer of the pudding mixture.
- Repeat the layering process, alternating between the crushed vanilla wafer cookies and pudding mixture until you have three layers, ending with a layer of vanilla pudding on top.
- After completing the layering process, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the banana pudding overnight. (Do not decorate until the next day) This extended refrigeration allows the flavors set.
- Before serving, decorate your banana pudding with cookies, caramel.
