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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
