Banana Pudding Dessert

Sometimes as a family you cannot enjoy dinner together. I understand this I used to work in retail not too long ago. It’s hard to have that nice Sunday family dinner when you have to be at work till 9:30 p.m. In my family we try not to let that get in the way of sharing some time together as a family. On nights like these we use desert as a way to get together as a family. From time to time when you don’t feel like cooking a scoop of ice cream or a small dish of jello will work but when you have that urge to create a simple but elegant desert here is an option that you may want to try out.

Simple Banana Pudding Dessert

Yields: 4 servings                                 Prep Time: 10 minutes                                                      Cook Time: 5 minutes

2 3.3oz packs of Jell-O Vanilla Instant Pudding

4 cups of cold Milk

1 8oz container of Cool Whip

2 Banana’s

36 vanilla wafers

In a bowl mix the instant pudding mix and cold milk. You will want to wisk this together till the pudding is full dissolved and there are no lumps left. Your pudding should be a yellowish color like the picture. Place the pudding in the refrigerator to this should only take a couple of minutes. In the mean time you can gather your other ingredients and most importantly your glasses in which to serve them.  In my family we enjoy this desert so we tend to use a larger glass like a margarita glass. Another great glass to use is a martini glass these are smaller therefore you might not need as much pudding for these.

Well waiting for the pudding you can also peel and cut your bananas. You will want to cut them relatively thin somewhere between a ½ - ¼ of an inch thick. No need to measure just guess its dessert it’s supposed to be fun.

Now that the pudding has set and you have all your ingredients out you just simply start to layer your dessert first a scoop of pudding, next a layer of Vanilla Wafers, then the bananas, more pudding, topped off with a dollop of Cool Whip and another Vanilla Wafer.

Now this quick and simple treat is ready to eat!
