Ingredients
- 1 11-ounce box vanilla wafer cookies
- 1 3.4-ounce box vanilla instant pudding mix (plus 2 cups of milk, as called for on the package)
- 3-4 large ripe bananas thinly sliced (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding according to the package instructions. Once done, refrigerate and set aside.
- Arrange a single layer of vanilla wafer cookies on the bottom of an 11 x 7-inch baking dish (approximately 24 cookies per layer).
- Spread half of the prepared pudding (about 1 cup) over the layer of cookies using a spatula. Add a single layer of banana slices on top of the pudding.
- Repeat the layers: start with another layer of cookies, then pudding, and finally bananas.
- Spread the whipped topping evenly over the final layer of bananas. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, garnish with additional vanilla wafers and banana slices, if desired.
Notes
Use ripe bananas that are sweet but still firm (avoid overripe bananas as they can become mushy).
Thaw the Cool Whip in the refrigerator overnight to maintain its fluffy consistency. Do not thaw it at room temperature, as it may melt and lose its texture.
