If you have yet to explore Savannah, Georgia, make sure to add it to your must-visit list. I spent two enriching years there post-college and would return in an instant. The delightful cuisine, captivating historical architecture, and welcoming locals are simply unforgettable. One of my favorite culinary discoveries during my time in Savannah is the delightful treat known as banana pudding.
You’ve probably heard of it, right? It’s hard to forget once you’ve experienced its creamy goodness. The combination of pudding, ripe bananas, vanilla wafers, and whipped cream creates a dessert that is pure comfort.
While I have previously made banana pudding entirely from scratch, including whipping the cream by hand, I later decided to simplify the process. A couple of years ago, I whipped up a quicker version of banana pudding, and surprisingly, it turned out to be a crowd favorite. No joke.
The Easy Cook’s Banana Pudding Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 packages (1 oz each) instant vanilla pudding
- 2 overripe bananas
- 1 container of thawed whipped topping
- 1 package of vanilla wafers
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, prepare the instant pudding according to the instructions for pie filling. Once it has set, gently fold in the whipped topping and refrigerate.
- Slice the bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Layer the vanilla wafers at the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish, followed by a layer of banana slices. Spread a 1/2-inch layer of the pudding mixture on top. Repeat these three layers until you exhaust the ingredients or reach the top of the dish, ensuring the final layer is pudding.
- For an elegant touch, consider creating mini banana pudding servings in ramekins.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal. The longer it sits, the more the flavors blend, and the wafers become tender, resembling soft vanilla cakes!
Note: This recipe can easily be modified to accommodate diabetic needs. Simply use sugar-free pudding, sugar-free whipped topping, and seek out sugar-free vanilla wafers. If you struggle to find sugar-free wafers, Murray’s sugar-free shortbread cookies serve as a fantastic alternative.
