How to Make the Best Banana Pudding in Minutes
73How to Make the Best Banana Pudding
Growing up one of my favorite desserts my mom made was banana pudding, it always tasted so good and I would love to sneak into the refridgerator and scoop out several spoonfuls to put on my plate.
Have you ever seen banana pudding served in restraunt, only banana cream pie. Some of my friends say that their mom did not make it for them growing up. Now that I am older I make it every once in a while and each time it brings back happy memories.
Now I think the best part of banana pudding is the cookies, yes the vanilla wafers, round circular toasted cookies with a nice crispy taste.
Now if you are not a fan of bananas then you probably will not like this dessert. I happen to love bananas especially when they get really ripe and mushy.
- So for starters you will need to get some really ripe bananas.
- Then you will need to get some banana pudding (homemade or store bought which ever you prefer)
- A big bowl or casserole glass dish
- Some vanilla wafers, generic no name kind will work just as well.
- Cool Whip

Layering is the key to getting the pudding nice and high in the pan.
Start with the wafers, cover the pan at the bottom with the wafers laying them side by side until the whole bottom is covered, then pour in a layer of pudding make sure all the cookies are covered, then slice the bananas so you have all these circular shapes then place them on top of the pudding, the repeat the process again until you are all out of pudding, bananas and wafers.
Then take the dish and put it in the refridgerator, what really makes banana pudding taste good is when the wafers get soft from sitting in the pudding. Leave in the refridgerator long enough for this to happen. Then take it out of the fridge and top it with Cool Whip, whip cream and scoup out and enjoy. Simply the best.

My fav fruit. Love anything to do with bananas. Divine.
Just finished up my banana pudding today. It was yummy and so quick and easy to make. I threw a few walnuts on top to give myself that extra dose of Omega-3. Thank you.
Ohh yummie that sounds so good Dottie.
I prefer Vanilla Pudding with the banana's coolwhip and wafers.
It's one of my favorite desserts. Do you have a good peach cobbler recipe you can share?
Oh My, you certainly are passing down some great recipes! I am just wondering, is that a meriunge on the picture of the pudding?? I love it that way too, if I have the time to do it. I would love any other recipes you might have, I really enjoy all of your hubs.
My mother in law told me a way to make this banana pudding that is very rich, same as your pudding but with probably a million extra calories. If you really want to impress someone with this dish- and calories do not matter- you can step it up by using buttercream frosting instead of cool whip. My neighbor lady loved it so much she almost passed out from pleasure,,,I am not making it up either! LOL. It's not that much extra work either.
To replace the cool whip take a small package of banana instant pudding and mix it up with just one cup of cold milk. Let it step up and stir in a half cup of powered sugar, and then fold in cool whip OR 2 cups heavy whipping cream( already whipped). This can now be spread over the bananas, the cookies and the banana cooked puddding.
You can also make this into a banana cream pie. Because this recipe is soooo rich I only make it once a year. Other times, I make it with the lite cool whip instead of heavy whipping cream....its good that way too, and not as bad for you. That little bit of powerdered sugar just makes everything else taste so rich. OH, and I almost forgot, stir in a teaspoon of good vanilla extract into the whipping cream!
You can also use any kind of pudding that you like, lots of people like the white chocolate instand pudding. This is a really good recipe for the beginner cook, because it is easy and people rave about it. I started my neice out with this recipe and she was so encouraged that she loves to cook now, when before she felt she couldn't to anything right in the kitchen.
Move over martha, you have competition now!
magnoliazz - I love it when you share your experiences, I do enjoy reading them, I just made some banana pudding a few weeks ago and it sure went fast, it is one of the favorite deserts at the house, I had bought the vanilla pudding on sale ten for a dollar and the bananas always sell for a good price, added loads of wafer cookies and let it sit and chill in the fridge, its so nice when the cookies get soft and the bananas and pudding are all creamy, only thing is that its really sweet to the taste. Fun to make and yummy to eat.
MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm!! That banana puddding is all I can think about now! I have 20 pounds to lose, so I have to try to stay away from this kind of thing, however, because it is all I can think about, I may have to break down and make some!
I see you have 175 hubs...WOW...are there some other recipes in there?
magnoliazz - I was looking at my hubs and I actually have written a few on food here they are:

I will certainly check try this out. Thank you very much for sharing this.
This is not banana pudding, it's banana pie. I want to know how to
make banana pudding. Pudding doesn't have waffers in it,
banana pie does.
Thanks for bringing up the point because it is good to know the difference between banana pudding and banana pie, if anyone has a recipe, please leave a comment, Thanks!
Be healthy by eating banana
Actually Harley I am from the South where we make banana pudding all of the time, and it is even a very common dessert item in restaurants. I can assure you that this definitely is banana pudding NOT pie. The only way to make banana pudding is with Nilla Wafers. If you came down here and tried to serve someone banana pudding without vanilla wafers people would think that you made a mistake and forgot an ingredient.
Hey heather thanks for the comment, the only banana pudding I have ever tasted was with nilla wafers as you mentioned, and it is so good a day later once everything sets and the wafers are nice and soft.
