Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 (11 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) small (4-serving) box vanilla instant pudding mix (plus the 2 cups of milk called for on the package to prepare the pudding)
  • 3-4 large ripe bananas, thinly sliced (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding according to the package instructions. Refrigerate and set aside.
  2. Arrange vanilla wafer cookies in a single layer on the bottom of an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. I used 24 cookies for each layer. Use a spatula to spread half of the prepared pudding (approximately 1 cup) over the cookies. Top the pudding with a single layer of banana slices. Repeat the layers, starting with cookies.
  3. Top the final layer of banana slices with whipped topping. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  4. Just before serving, garnish with extra vanilla wafers and sliced banana, if desired.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are ripe and sweet, but not overripe and mushy.
  • Remember to thaw the Cool Whip in the refrigerator overnight before layering the dessert. Do not thaw Cool Whip on the counter at room temperature, because it has a tendency to "melt" and lose its fluffy consistency when it gets too warm.
