Ingredients
Scale
Banana Pudding Layers
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 2 cups vanilla pudding (prepared or instant)
- 1 cup vanilla wafers
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice the bananas into thin rounds, prepare the vanilla pudding according to package instructions if using instant pudding, and have the whipped topping ready to use.
- Layer the Dessert: In a serving dish or individual cups, start by placing a layer of vanilla wafers on the bottom. Follow this with a layer of sliced bananas, then a layer of pudding. Repeat the layers as desired, finishing with a layer of whipped topping on top.
- Chill: Cover the assembled banana pudding and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften slightly, creating a creamy, cohesive dessert.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the banana pudding cold for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid overly mushy texture.
- You can prepare the pudding from scratch or use instant pudding mix for convenience.
- For extra topping, sprinkle additional crushed vanilla wafers before serving.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute pudding and whipped topping with suitable plant-based alternatives.
