Ingredients

The ingredients are one large box of instant vanilla pudding (or you can use banana flavored pudding), milk, 1 box of vanilla wafers, one tub of Cool whip dessert topping and 3-4 medium bananas.

I use a 13×9 casserole dish for this. First step is to put a layer of cookies on the bottom of the dish. Next, slice your bananas in rounds and lay on top of the cookies. Use 1 1/2 to 2 bananas for each layer.

Set this aside and sing a bowl with a lid, pour the milk in with the instant pudding and mix well. (Follow the instructions on the box.). Once you have shaken or stirred the pudding and it has thickened, fold in the whole tub of Cool Whip using a whisk to mix this up. Then, pour half of the pudding mixture over the first layer of cookies and bananas.

Repeat the next layer with the cookies and bananas. Pour the rest of the pudding mixture over the second layer of cookies and bananas. Save a few cookies to sprinkle over the top for topping and that is it!! It's a super easy and a delicious dessert, especially in the summertime, but it's also great for holidays, parties or just about any occasion!

Tips for make easy no bake banana pudding

#1:I have used store brand vanilla wafers and as far as taste goes, they're great! The only downside to using off brand is that there doesn't seem to be as many in the box as the Nabisco Nilla Wafers. With the name brand, you'll have plenty for topping.

#2:I recommend making this dessert either the night before or a few to several hours before you'll be serving it as you'll want the cookies to have soften a bit.

#3:To reduce calories, I used skim milk, fat free Cool Whip, as this does not affect the taste at all but if you prefer the full calorie flavor, that's certainly ok, too!
