MY OLD SCHOOL EASY QUICK BANANA 🍌 PUDDING (SUPER BOWL DESSERT IDEA)
This isn't my traditional banana pudding
But its so easy and delicious
I use this recipe every time i host events or parties in my home
i usually have hundreds of other things to cook
so this saves me time and effort in the kitchen
RECIPE:
2 cups whole milk
14 oz sweetened condensed milk 1 can
5 oz instant vanilla pudding mix one package
3 cups heavy cream divided
3 tbsp granulated sugar divided
3 tsp vanilla extract divided
1 box vanilla wafer cookies 16-oz.
5 bananas sliced into coins
Instructions:
In a large bowl whisk together the milk and sweetened condensed milk then sprinkle in the instant pudding and mix until completely incorporated with no lumps remaining. You can do this by hand or with an electric mixer. Refrigerate for 5 minutes or until set.
Add 3 cups of whipped cream with two tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla to a bowl then mix on high until stiff peaks from.
Remove pudding from the refrigerator then fold the whipped cream into it.
Add a layer of cookies to the bottom of your trifle dish or a larger bowl. Place a quarter of the pudding mixture over then smooth using a spatula. Add another layer of cookies then place a row of cookies facing the horizontal edge of your dish. Add a layer of banana slices on top then add another quarter of the pudding mixture and smooth.
Continue layering with cookies, bananas and pudding until complete. Alternate a row of banana slices with the cookies you're pressing against the wall of the trifle dish. Chill for three hours.
For the topping whip cup of cup of cream with a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla to stiff peaks. Pile on top and crumble the remaining cookies over then serve.
Notes
If you're worried about over-whipping the cream then whip until you reach soft peaks then finish it off by hand.
Use ripe bananas that are still firm.
If you prefer, whipped topping can be used in place of whipped cream.
Any cookie will work in this recipe so have fun using your favorites!
If you don't have a trifle dish then just use a big glass bowl, or assemble in small serving cups.

When it comes to preparing desserts for large gatherings like Super Bowl parties, time-saving recipes like this old school banana pudding are a true lifesaver. I remember the first time I tried a layered banana pudding similar to this one—it was a hit with guests because it combined creamy textures with the delightful crunch of vanilla wafer cookies. A tip I've learned from frequent hosting is to make the pudding mixture ahead of time and let it chill properly; this helps the pudding set perfectly, making it easier to layer and slice. Using ripe but firm bananas is crucial to prevent the pudding from becoming mushy. When layering, gently press the cookies against the sides of your trifle dish to create an appealing visual effect and add texture contrast with the bananas. Additionally, you can customize the recipe by swapping vanilla wafer cookies with other favorites like shortbread or butter cookies, giving the dessert a unique twist every time. For those who want to speed up the process even more, whipped topping is a simple substitute for freshly whipped cream, although fresh cream offers a richer flavor. Don't forget to whip the cream just until stiff peaks form; over-whipping can turn it into butter, which ruins the texture. Lastly, assembling the dessert into individual small cups can make serving easier and adds a cute presentation element that's great for sharing at parties. This banana pudding is not only a nostalgic treat but also a versatile recipe that multitaskers like me appreciate when hosting events. It pairs wonderfully with other soul food dishes or can stand alone as a crowd-pleasing sweet finale.
