Banana Pudding Ingredients

Method

Instructions for Banana Pudding

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pudding Layer

    In a medium saucepan, combine the vanilla pudding mix and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Make the Cream Cheese Mixture

    In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until well combined.

  3. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a large serving dish, start by layering vanilla wafer cookies at the bottom. Then, add a layer of sliced bananas followed by a layer of the pudding mixture and then the cream cheese mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a pudding layer.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Meringue

    In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar for meringue, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

  5. 5

    Top and Bake

    Spread the meringue over the top of the pudding, making sure to seal the edges. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Let the banana pudding cool at room temperature for a bit, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
