Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe, but firm bananas
- 1 box (1 oz) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1/2 cup sugar-free whipped topping
- 1 package (5.3 oz) sugar-free vanilla wafers
Optional Garnish
- a few extra banana slices optional
- a sprinkle cinnamon optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk in a medium bowl for 2 minutes until thickened, then let it sit for 5 minutes to set.
- Gently fold the sugar-free whipped topping into the prepared pudding mixture to add creaminess and lightness.
- Peel and slice the ripe bananas into 1/4-inch rounds.
Assembly
- Arrange a single layer of sugar-free vanilla wafers at the bottom of a 9x13 inch serving dish or individual dessert cups.
- Place a layer of sliced bananas over the wafers.
- Carefully spoon about one-third of the pudding mixture evenly over the bananas.
- Repeat the layers of wafers, then bananas, then pudding two more times, ending with a final layer of pudding on top.
- Cover the dish loosely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, allowing the wafers to soften and flavors to meld.
Serving
- Before serving, garnish with a few fresh banana slices or a light dusting of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
For best results, allow the pudding to chill overnight to ensure the wafers are fully softened and the flavors are well developed.
