My family decided to do things a little differently this Easter and we had an Easter BBQ for dinner. We had steak, grilled chicken, yummy salads, and pastel colored deviled eggs. For dessert I made this incredibly simple banana pudding recipe. It does not require the use of an oven so it is one of my favorite recipes for the hot days of summer. It also only takes about 15 minutes to make so it is quick, easy, and most importantly delicious. Enjoy!
What You Need:
1 3.4 oz Package of Jell-O Instant Banana Pudding Mix
3 Bananas (medium sized)
30-40 Nilla Wafers
1 8 oz Tub of Cool Whip
2 cups of milk
Makes 14 1/2 cup servings (but I am positive everyone will eat more than a 1/2 cup so plan on making approx. a cup per person.)
Directions:
Step 1: Whisk together the pudding mix and milk in a medium sized bowl for 2 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Step 2: Slice your 3 bananas. I sliced mine about a 1/4 inch in thickness. Sit them aside for now.
Step 3: Get your serving bowl ready (needs to hold at least 2 qts). I usually like to use a trifle to serve this pudding in because it looks beautiful layered. Put a layer of half of the Nilla wafers on the bottom of your bowl. Flat side up. *I used 40 Nilla wafers. 15 on the first layer and 25 for the second. If you don't want as many wafers use 30.
Step 4: Layer half of your banana slices on top of the wafers.
Step 5: Spoon half of the pudding into the dish and spread evenly. Then repeat steps 3,4, and 5.
Step 6: All of your wafers, bananas and pudding should be used at this time. To finish the pudding top with your tub of Cool whip. Then refrigerate for at least 3 hours. I suggest 4-5 to let all the flavors really blend together.
Then you're done! This pudding is a crowd pleaser every time I make it. I hope you enjoy it as well!
