Thanks to Pinterest I have millions of others tried and true recipes at my finger tips and oh do they love to go a walkin' on lazy Sunday afternoons. I ran across a "no-bake" Banana Pudding recipe that I knew I just had to try just for my hubby! I have never attempted banana puddin' before today but I feel confident I will again soon :) It was really simple! I adapted the recipe a bit because for some reason these days we seem to be getting less and less ounces for the same price as before. Trying to find a 5 ounce package of jello pudding is near impossible these days! So here goes the adapted recipe:
No-Bake Banana Puddin'
2 (3.4 ounce) packages of instant banana cream pudding
2 cups cold milk - I used skim
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk - I used fat free
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 (8 ounce) containers frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (8 ounce) package of Bud's Best vanilla wafers
4 bananas, sliced
2 cups cold milk - I used skim
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk - I used fat free
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 (8 ounce) containers frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (8 ounce) package of Bud's Best vanilla wafers
4 bananas, sliced
Mix together the packages of pudding and the 2 cups milk. Whisk for 2 minutes until it starts to thicken up. Pour the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the pudding mixture and whisk to combine.
Begin layering in a large bowl: wafers, 2 sliced bananas, half the pudding mixture, 1 container of the whipped cream, then repeat wafers, 2 sliced bananas, remaining pudding mixture, remaining container of whipped cream and a few decorative wafers on top.
Refrigerate until ready to eat (at least 2 hours but ideally, overnight).
