A delightful twist on the classic banana pudding, this recipe combines creamy layers with a touch of crunch for a dessert everyone will love.
Arrange a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom of a casserole dish.
Ensure the wafers cover the base evenly for a consistent layer.
Slice the bananas into thin rounds and layer them over the wafers.
Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pudding mix, sweetened condensed milk, and cold milk.
Mix until the pudding is smooth and starts to thicken slightly.
Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until well combined.
Fold gently to maintain the light and airy texture of the whipped topping.
Pour the pudding mixture over the bananas and wafers, spreading it evenly.
Use a spatula to ensure the mixture is evenly distributed.
Repeat the layering process if desired, finishing with a layer of pudding.
Top with crushed wafers or banana slices for decoration.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to set properly.
Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy banana delight.
Garnish with a sprig of mint or a drizzle of caramel for an elegant touch.
