- Category: Dessert
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix, regular or sugar-free
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk (recommend 2%) or unsweetened almond milk (may not set as well)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
- 1 cup whipped topping (thawed if frozen)
- 2 medium bananas, sliced
- 18–24 vanilla wafers, roughly crushed or layered
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or extra banana slices for topping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until the mixture starts to thicken.
- Add the Greek yogurt and whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the pudding mixture is fluffy and evenly combined.
- Add a thin layer of the pudding mixture to the bottom of a serving dish or individual jars.
- Add a layer of sliced bananas and a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with pudding on top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. For softer wafers and a more classic banana pudding texture, chill for 3–4 hours.
- Top with extra crushed wafers right before serving if you want a little crunch.
Notes
- For a sweeter banana pudding, use vanilla Greek yogurt. For a less sweet version, use plain Greek yogurt and regular pudding mix.
- If using almond milk, choose a pudding mix that sets well with non-dairy milk, or use slightly less milk for a thicker texture.
- For the best texture, add a few fresh wafer crumbs right before serving.
