Here’s the recipe for your mom’s simple and delicious 4-Ingredient Banana Pudding:
Ingredients:
- 1 package vanilla pudding mix (prepared as directed on the package)
- 1 container of whipped cream
- Vanilla wafer cookies
- Ripe bananas, sliced
Directions:
- Prepare the vanilla pudding mix according to the instructions on the package. This typically involves mixing the pudding powder with milk and allowing it to set.
- Once the vanilla pudding has set, gently fold in the entire container of whipped cream. This will create a light and airy texture for your banana pudding.
- In a serving dish or individual cups, create the first layer by placing a single layer of vanilla wafer cookies at the bottom.
- Spoon a portion of the pudding mixture over the cookie layer, spreading it evenly.
- Add a layer of sliced ripe bananas over the pudding mixture.
- Repeat the layers by adding another layer of vanilla wafer cookies, followed by pudding, and then bananas.
- Continue this process until you reach the top of the dish or desired number of layers, finishing with a layer of the pudding mixture on top.
- Optionally, you can garnish the top with additional crushed vanilla wafer cookies or banana slices.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a few hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your delightful and easy-to-make banana pudding!
Optional Additions:
- Drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce between the layers for added sweetness.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) on top for a crunchy texture.
Feel free to get creative with the layers and customize the recipe to your liking. Your mom’s banana pudding is sure to be a hit!
