Ingredients

Scale

Banana Pudding Mixture

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant banana pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup vanilla wafers, crushed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Banana Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Let it sit for 5 minutes to set.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping, sliced bananas, and crushed vanilla wafers into the prepared pudding mixture, making sure to evenly distribute all ingredients without mashing the bananas.
  3. Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to firm up.
  4. Serve: Give the salad a gentle stir before serving chilled as a refreshing dessert or side dish.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of vanilla wafers depending on desired crunchiness.
  • For a lighter version, substitute whipped topping with whipped cream or a low-fat alternative.
  • Consume within 2 days for best freshness and texture.
  • Can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight.
