Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pudding

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. Refrigerate for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  2. 2

    Slice the Bananas

    While the pudding is chilling, slice the ripe bananas into thin rounds and set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine Pudding and Bananas

    Once the pudding has thickened, gently fold in the sliced bananas, whipped topping, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined.

  4. 4

    Layer the Dessert

    In a large serving dish, create layers starting with a layer of Nilla Wafers, followed by a layer of the banana pudding mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with the pudding on top.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and for the wafers to soften. Serve chilled.
