Ingredients
Banana Pudding Mixture
- 3.4 ounces instant banana pudding mix
- 2 cups whole milk
Mix-ins and Toppings
- 8 ounces whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups vanilla wafers, crushed
- 2 cups bananas, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a large bowl, combine the instant banana pudding mix and whole milk. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Chill the Pudding: Place the pudding mixture in the refrigerator and chill for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing it to set and thicken properly.
- Fold in Whipped Topping and Bananas: Gently fold the whipped topping and sliced bananas into the chilled pudding mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as vigorous stirring can cause the whipped topping to break down.
- Add Wafers and Marshmallows: Carefully fold in the crushed vanilla wafers and mini marshmallows until just combined, preserving the fluffy texture.
- Final Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the entire mixture until ready to serve. For an attractive presentation, garnish with additional crushed wafers and sliced bananas. Serve cold for the best flavor and texture.
