Strawberry Banana Pudding Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 box (5.1 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2-3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 box (about 9 oz) vanilla wafer cookies
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- Make the Pudding:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk for about 2 minutes until the pudding thickens. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to fully set.
- Layer the Pudding:
- In a large serving dish (like a 9×13-inch pan or a trifle dish), start with a layer of vanilla wafer cookies on the bottom.
- Top the cookies with a layer of sliced bananas and sliced strawberries.
- Spoon a layer of pudding over the fruit, spreading it evenly.
- Repeat the Layers:
- Repeat the layering process with more vanilla wafers, bananas, strawberries, and pudding until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
- Chill:
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set.
- Serve:
- Before serving, you can top with whipped cream and extra strawberry or banana slices for garnish if desired.
