Do you only have 2 to 4 hours to get a quick desert put together? Are the In-Laws coming at 5 pm and it's already noon? Did a cake you were making for desert fail?
Well, this can be whipped up in under 30 minutes. Most people have these pantry staple ingredients in their kitchen.
Ingredients
1 Large Box Jell-O Cook & Serve Banana Cream Pudding (NOT INSTANT)
3 Cups Cold Whole Milk (using fat free,reduced fat milk, or skim milk will cause a soft set, or no set at all)
4 to 5 average sized bananas, not too ripe
1 Box of vanilla wafers
1 tub of non-dairy whipped topping
Utensils Needed
1 stainless steel pot
1 clear glass bowl or trifle dish (make sure dish as very vertical sides)
1 whisk
1 large spoon
glass liquid measuring cups
1 Banana Monkey Tree (Just kidding!!)
Putting it All Together
1. Pour your 3 cups of cold milk into a pot set on medium heat. Add your box of banana pudding. Whisk and watch, whisk and watch until you get a medium boil.
Once pudding had come to a boil, let it boil and thicken for just 30 to 45 seconds. It will continue to thicken once off the heat. Set pan aside, off of the heat.
2. Cut up your bananas into slices. I like to take about 3/4 of a banana and coarsely chop it and add it to the cooling pudding, for a little more texture. Set sliced bananas aside.
3. Take your bowl and start lining the bottom with a layer of wafers, a layer of sliced bananas, and then a layer of 1/2 of the pudding.
4. Next start putting your wafers along the side of your bowl. Use the pudding layer to prop them up. See photo above.
6. Finish the top of the pudding off with whipped topping. As much as you want to use.
7. Garnish with a few wafers and banana slices. Chill for 1 to 2 hours.
