Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping, thawed
- 1 (10.5 ounce) package vanilla wafers
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture until well combined.
- Arrange a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Spread one-third of the pudding mixture over the vanilla wafers.
- Arrange a layer of sliced bananas over the pudding.
- Repeat the layers: vanilla wafers, pudding mixture, and bananas, two more times, ending with a layer of pudding mixture.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use a homemade vanilla pudding.
- Ensure your bananas are ripe but not overly mushy for the best texture.
- Chill the cake for at least 4 hours to allow the cookies to soften and absorb the pudding.
