How to Make Banana Pudding Dessert
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, cold water, and cold milk until smooth and creamy.
- Beat on low speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until the pudding is thick and fluffy.
- Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow the pudding to fully set.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In individual serving glasses or a large trifle bowl, layer half of the vanilla wafers, half of the pudding mixture, and half of the sliced bananas.
- Repeat layers with remaining wafers, pudding, and bananas.
- Top with a vanilla wafer and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
