How to Make Banana Pudding

- First, take a large bowl and add the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk. Beat the pudding mix until it thickens. When it thickens, add powdered sugar and condensed milk and beat well. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. When the pudding mix is ready, set it aside.
- Then take another bowl and add whipped topping. Beat until the cream becomes fluffy. When ready, use a spatula to fold the whipped cream into the banana pudding mixture.
- Now it’s time to layer. Take a large round bowl for layering the banana pudding. On a plate, slice the bananas into rounds.
Then layer the vanilla wafers in the bowl, add banana slices on the sides, and then a layer of the whipped pudding cream. Add crushed wafers on top, then banana slices again, more wafers, and then more pudding mixture. Repeat the process until the bowl is filled, covering it about 1/3 inch from the top.
After layering, refrigerate the pudding for 1 to 2 hours before serving so it sets well. It’s a cold dessert and tastes fantastic!
- Finally, it’s serving time! Use a spoon or scoop to serve. Take a scoop with banana slices and wafers.
