How to Make Shortcut Nutter Butter Banana Pudding Trifle

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of cold milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  2. Add 1 (5.9 ounce) package of instant vanilla pudding mix to the milk mixture.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until the pudding is thickened.
  4. Let the pudding stand for 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of sour cream.
  6. Place the pudding bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice. Let stand, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes until thoroughly chilled.

  8. Break 1 (10.75 ounce) package of Nutter Butter cookies into thirds.
  9. Spoon half of the chilled pudding mixture into a 3-quart bowl or trifle dish.
  10. Layer half of the sliced bananas and half of the broken cookies over the pudding.
  11. Spoon the remaining pudding mixture over the banana and cookie layer.
  12. Top with 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping.
  13. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum cookie softening.
  14. Garnish with extra whipped cream and/or cookie crumbs before serving (optional).
