Description
This is the best non-bake instant banana pudding recipe ever. It’s made with bananas and vanilla wafers and topped with whipped cream. The perfect easy-to-make dessert.
Ingredients
- 6 Large Banana’s
- 11 oz Box Vanilla Wafer’s
- 3/4 Cup JELLO Instant Banana Cream Pudding Mix
- 1/4 Cup JELLO Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
- 3–1/2 Cups Unsweetened Evaporated Milk
- 4 Cups Cool Whip + More For The Top
- 8oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese
- 1 Tbs Melted Butter
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Cup Confectioner’s Powder Sugar
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 Tsp Nutmeg
Instructions
- Add the Vanilla and banana cream pudding mix to a large mixing bowl, then pour in the milk and blend with a hand mixer on low speed for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes.
- In another large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese for 30 seconds on low speed, and add the sugar and blend for another 30 seconds.
- Then add in the Cool Whip and blend on low speed for 1 minute or until smooth.
- Add the pudding to the bowl of cream cheese and Cool Whip, then blend on low speed for 1 minute.
- Add in the vanilla, melted butter, and spices, then blend again until everything is well incorporated.
*Use a spatula to push the ingredients from the sides of the bowls into the mixtures, then stir the bottom to ensure everything is well incorporated.* - Chop 3 bananas into 1/8 inch thick circular pieces, then add the other 3 bananas to a small bowl and mash well.
- Layering: Get a medium-sized serving bowl and add in enough pudding to fully coat the bottom.
- Add in some wafers, top them with some Bananas, then add the mashed bananas.
*Repeat this layering order 2 more times* - The topping: Cover the top, which should be the mashed bananas, with the remaining pudding and Cool Whip, and then decorate the top as you please with the remaining wafers.
I like to top the banana pudding with the cookies, crush some up, and sprinkle them on top. - Cover with plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
- I used a round 10×4-inch 2 Qt serving bowl to put my banana pudding in.
- If you want more of a banana flavor, use 3/4 cup of banana cream pudding mix and only 1/4 cup of vanilla pudding mix, which is a 75/25 banana cream to vanilla pudding ratio.
