Old Fashioned Banana Pudding
Ashley Evans
Growing up we had a very simple banana pudding recipe that I loved and could eat way too much of. Over the years I have altered that classic recipe to be a bit richer and more luxurious.
INGREDIENTS
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups ice cold milk
1 (3.4 oz.) box vanilla instant pudding mix
3 cups heavy cream
4 cups sliced bananas
1 (12 oz.) box Nilla Wafers
PROCESS
In a large bowl, beat together the sweetened condensed milk and water until well combined, add the pudding mix and beat well. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the fresh whipped cream into the pudding mixture.
Arrange 1/3 of the Nilla wafers covering the bottom of a bowl or pan, overlapping if necessary. Next, layer 1/3 of the bananas, and 1/3 of the pudding mixture. Repeat twice more, garnishing with additional wafers or wafer crumbs on the top layer. Cover tightly and allow to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours – or up to 8 hours.
