Description

Banana Pudding with Sour Cream is a creamy, dreamy twist on the classic Southern dessert. Made with layers of vanilla wafers, bananas, and a rich pudding mixture enhanced by sour cream for extra tang and smoothness.


Ingredients

Units 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
  • 45 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 box vanilla wafers

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  2. Fold in the sour cream and then gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a 9×13-inch dish, layer vanilla wafers across the bottom.
  4. Top with a layer of sliced bananas, then spread half of the pudding mixture over the top.
  5. Repeat the layers: vanilla wafers, bananas, and the remaining pudding mixture.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  7. 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.
