Here are the pictures as promisedI can't begin to describe how much I love this dessert (yes I can, see below). Mmmmmmm!
2 lbs of yellow bananas (no brown spots) sliced in 1/2 inch slices
2 (4-oz serving pkg) Cook and serve vanilla pudding mix
1 box of vanilla wafers
6 cups of milk
Deep baking dish, (I use a pyrex glass dish so you can see the layers) but be creative, a trifle dish would be awesome for this.
Prepare the pudding according to the directions on the box. Remove from heat. Line the bottom of your baking dish with vanilla wafers. Layer the bananas on top of the wafers. Pour the pudding on top just to cover the cookies. Repeat layers, end with a final layer of vanilla wafers and pour the remaining pudding over. Place in the refrigerator to set (at least 3-4 hours). Let's not be greedy trying to eat hot, crunchy banana pudding.
This recipe is soooooooooo stinkin’ easy!!! I believe it was one of the first desserts I ever prepared. My mom taught me how to prepare it, of course I was designated the pudding stirrer because it’s the most tedious portion of the recipe. My mother knew what she was doing, “keep stirring sweety, it will thicken eventually”.
This dessert is best once it has had a chance to sit overnight in the refrigerator before serving. All of the flavors have a change to meld and the cookies change into a spongy filling. The cookies give the cakey texture, the bananas make you feel not so guilty (because it's fruit, right? It can't be that bad for you) and the pudding just adds that silky coolness. Can you tell I'm obsessed?
Some people enjoy adding a whipped topping to finish it off, but I like the basic banana pudding. It’s so easy, sooooooooo good and a great overall spring/summertime dessert.

You are soooooo stinkin' cute, luv ya Vanessa!!! But a quick question, who is "Dina"??? I know you meant Diva :-p
I too loved the banana pudding. It was very tasty and a great afternoon treat. Just what I needed. I think it could have been a tad sweeter but I think I am just feening for sugar. Thank you for sharing your delightful creations with us. Your the best!
I forget just HOW awesome it was, I waited too long to write this. Diva, you may just have to make more of it!!!!
Hey Allyn!
I'm glad you liked it, I wish you would have taken a little more, you only had a spoonful. Maybe next time Pookie, I'll bring in a whipped topping that will add the extra sweetness you crave :-)

Hi Mr. Bill,
I see your reverse psychology in play. Maybe I'll try a lower calorie version of this dessert and let you sample that.
