Easy Peasy Banana Cream Pudding

Easy Peasy Banana Cream Pudding

So as much of a dessert connoisseur as I claim to be I’ve actually never had banana pudding…until last week. Crazy right?! I don’t even know how that happened (the never trying it) but last week while we were visiting Gainesville I was blessed with the spontaneous opportunity to try it. As soon as I had the first bite I knew I had to make my own version for the blog.

Easy Peasy Banana Cream Pudding

One of the things that made me fall in love with banana pudding was the texture; creamy, soft pudding meets crumbs of sweet vanilla wafer cookies. Even though this recipe was inspired by traditional banana pudding, this recipe is a little different. This recipe calls for banana cream pudding mixed with cool whip & sweetened condensed milk. This actually makes the pudding has a little more of a mousse type texture but still very close to traditional pudding.

I decided to call this “easy peasy” banana cream pudding because you’re pretty much just assembling the banana pudding mixture and then letting it set in the fridge for about 15 minutes, super quick & easy.

When you’re ready to serve just chop up some banana, toss them into the pudding, and top with crushed vanilla wafer cookies. You’ve got a delicious dessert with 20 minutes!
