What?! The pudding isn't banana flavored?! It's surprising, but the banana slices alone are powerful enough to give banana pudding that rich, natural flavor. Kitchen Gadgets Needed: Knife, cutting board, mixing bowl, whisk, spoonula, serving bowl or parfait cups
Ingredients
1 package vanilla pudding mix (check package for additional ingredients; you'll probably just need milk)
½ package vanilla wafers
2 bananas, sliced
Instructions
Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package's instructions (typically, this just means whisking the pudding mix with milk and letting it sit for five minutes, if you use the instant kind).
As it sits, peel the bananas and slice them into thin coins.
Layer the bottom of the serving dish with vanilla wafers and banana slices, then pour a layer of pudding on top. Continue this process once more, so that pudding covers the top of the dessert. Garnish with a few crumbled wafers, or, if you're serving them in individual glasses, one whole wafer per glass. Let it refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving, so the wafers can soften and the banana flavor can seep through.
