Banana Pudding Ingredients

Method

Directions to Prepare Banana Pudding

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pudding

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

  2. 2

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a large serving dish, start layering the vanilla wafers at the bottom. Slice the ripe bananas and place a layer over the wafers. Pour half of the prepared pudding mixture over the bananas.

  3. 3

    Repeat Layers

    Add another layer of vanilla wafers, followed by the remaining banana slices, and then pour the remaining pudding mixture on top.

  4. 4

    Finish with Whipped Cream

    Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top layer of pudding. You can also garnish with additional banana slices or crushed vanilla wafers if desired.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set. Serve chilled.
