Irresistibly Creamy Banana Pudding with Vanilla Wafers Delight

Learn how to make delicious Banana Pudding With Vanilla Wafers. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Creating this dessert doesn’t require a culinary degree, just a few pantry staples and a touch of love. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 package of vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups of cold milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 box of vanilla wafers (approximately 12 oz)

If you’re out of vanilla extract, don’t worry; a splash of almond extract can add a delightful twist. And if heavy cream is not available, chilled coconut milk works wonders for a dairy-free option.

Instructions

Here’s how you can whip up this delightful dessert in no time:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. In another bowl, beat the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the thickened pudding mixture until well combined.
  4. In a large serving dish or individual cups, start layering: a layer of vanilla wafers, a layer of sliced bananas, followed by a layer of the pudding mixture.
  5. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
  6. Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the wafers soften to your desired texture.

Feel free to get the kids involved in the layering process—it’s a wonderful way to create memories and maybe even a little mess, which is all part of the fun!
