Every southern girl must have a go-to banana pudding recipe in her back pocket. That being said, I have never liked banana pudding, at all, with the exception of this one. It is my mother's recipe, and is requested over and over by everyone who tries it. It is very rich, and I have never bothered to count the calories, but if you like banana pudding, the caloric splurge is totally worth it!
Ingredients:
1 box Nilla brand vanilla wafers
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 large box Jello instant vanilla pudding mix (6 oz)
1 tub Cool Whip topping, thawed
4 large bananas
2 cups milk
Whisk together the pudding mix and 2 cups milk in a bowl until thickened to a pudding consistency.
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk
Fold in the Cool Whip
Reserve 12-16 vanilla wafers (with nice, round edges...not the ones that are crumbly!) for the top and set aside. Using the remaining vanilla wafers, place 1/3 of them on the bottom of a trifle dish or serving bowl to form the first layer.
Slice the bananas. Layer 1/3 of the banana slices on top of the vanilla wafer layer.
Pour 1/3 of the pudding mixture over the bananas and wafers. Repeat two additional times, so that there are three complete layers.
Top with the reserved vanilla wafers and refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours before serving (I prefer to refrigerate overnight).
I guarantee you this will DISAPPEAR! Enjoy -
Ooh..I haven't had banana pudding in SUCH a long time!! I have no doubt that it will disappear instantly around here! Hope your week is off to a great start, Katy!
