How To Make Easy Banana Pudding
Start by adding the softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk to a large bowl and then mix it with an electric mixer until it develops a whipped consistency.
Then add the packet of French vanilla instant pudding and banana cream instant pudding along with 3 cups of cold milk to the bowl. Use the electric mixer to combine until it starts to thicken and has a smooth consistency.
Add in the 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip and fold it into the pudding mixture using a spatula.
In a 9×13 baking dish add a layer of vanilla wafer cookies and sliced bananas to the bottom of the dish.
Then pour a layer of pudding on top. Repeat this step and then finish by adding a pudding layer on top.
This next step is optional, but I always do it: sprinkle some crushed vanilla wafers on top of the pudding, place butter cookies throughout and drizzle caramel syrup on top.
For best results allow to chill for 6 hours prior to serving.
FAQ
How do I keep my bananas from turning brown?
-Place the fresh banana slices into a small bowl and add a small amount of lemon juice. Then mix them around until the lemon juice coats the bananas. This will help prevent them from turning brown and you will not taste the tarty lemon juice!
How do I store leftovers?
-You should store any leftovers in an airtight container stored in the refrigerator and eat within 2-3 days.
