Best Ever Banana Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, beat pudding mix and milk 2 minutes. Blend in condensed milk until smooth. Stir in vanilla and fold in whipped topping. Layer wafers, bananas and pudding mixture in a glass serving bowl. Chill until serving.

Steps:

• Bring the milk to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat, then remove from the heat. Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, vanilla paste and salt together in a medium bowl.
• While whisking, slowly add about 1 cup of the warm milk to the egg mixture. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter.
• Transfer the pudding to a large bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
• Arrange 19 wafer cookies in the bottom of a 4-quart trifle dish. Top with 1 cup pudding, then arrange 2 sliced bananas on top. Repeat the layers ending with bananas.
• Add the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and a pinch of salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
• Spread the whipped cream over the pudding and sprinkle the crushed wafer cookies around the border. Refrigerate until the pudding is firm, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

Steps:

• Pour the two boxes of pudding mix and the milk into a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, mix until thoroughly combined.
• Add the condensed milk and mix well.
• Next add the cool whip and whip it together.
• Line the bottom of a large bowl or container with nilla wafers and a layer of bananas. Next add some of the pudding mixture.
• Layer this way until all the pudding is used.
• Top with more nilla wafers.
• Let chill for a couple of hours before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Soften cream cheese block to room temperature. In large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with condensed milk. Add pinch of vanilla, and instant pudding mixes. Set aside.
• 2. Slice bananas thinly, and drizzle with lemon juice to keep from turning brown.
• 3. In a small chilled bowl, beat whipping cream on high speed with sugar, until stiff peaks start to form. If you can't chill your bowl, put the carton of whipping cream in the freezer for about 10 minutes before this step.
• 4. Stir bananas into pudding mixture. Fold whipped cream into pudding.
• 5. In large serving bowl, put a layer of whole vanilla wafers on bottom. Add a layer of pudding. Crumble some vanilla wafers on top of pudding, and add whole wafers around the edges of the bowl, if desired. Continue pudding & wafer layers until pudding is gone. Add Cool Whip to the top. Chill & serve.

Steps:

• Mix pudding according to package directions.
• let stand while you slice the bananas. I use an egg slicer to get nice even slices, not to mention it goes so much faster.
• add sweet condensed milk to pudding mixture and mix very well.
• add cool whip and mix well.
• Layer wafers, sliced bananas then pudding in a punch bowl. I usually get 3-4 layers but it depends on how thick you make them, its totally up to you.
• Let stand overnight or at least 4-6 hours so it really gets that banana flavor.
• You can use more or less wafers depending on your taste and i always add the top layer just before serving so that they are still crisp. You can get creative with the wafers and really make a nice presentation.
