Scale
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 4–5 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 box vanilla wafers
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Fold in the sour cream and then gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and well combined.
- In a 9×13-inch dish, layer vanilla wafers across the bottom.
- Top with a layer of sliced bananas, then spread half of the pudding mixture over the top.
- Repeat the layers: vanilla wafers, bananas, and the remaining pudding mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Garnish with extra banana slices or crushed wafers before serving, if desired.
Notes
- To prevent browning, toss banana slices in a little lemon juice before layering.
- Use homemade whipped cream instead of whipped topping for a less processed version.
- Serve chilled for best texture and flavor.
