minutesMy entire family loves this like crazy. One of my favorite parts about banana pudding is that it’s even better the next day. I prefer to make it a day before I am going to serve it.
Ingredients
14 oz 14 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups 1 1/2 cold water
1 (4 serving) 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 pint 1 whipping cream, whipped
36 vanilla wafers
3 medium bananas
lemon juice
Directions
- Slice up the bananas and toss them in a bowl with lemon juice. Once coated, remove the bananas from the juice. This prevents the bananas from getting too brown.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk and water. Add pudding mix and beat until blended.
- Fold in whipped cream.
- Spoon 1 cup pudding mixture into a 2 1/2 quart dish.
- Top with 1/3 each of the wafers, bananas, and pudding mixture. Repeat layering twice, then top with remaining pudding.
- Chill thoroughly…overnight is best.
- You can top with a few wafers or banana slices to make it pretty but it isn’t necessary.
Notes
- I double this every time because we always have a large group. When doubling, it fits great in a 9×13 pan.
