Nana Pudd'n

Ok, so my favorite dessert of all time is BANANA PUDDING! Being a simple Southern girl, who can blame me? I just love it so much that I want to share my secrets with all of you....promise me you'll try it?!

Lauren's Foolproof Banana Pudding
2 boxes Trader Joe's Instant Vanilla Pudding
4 cups Milk- I use Almond due to allergies, but 2 % probably works best!
3 ripe bananas
1 pint Heavy Whipping Cream
1 container Trader Joe's Vanilla Bean Wafers
Sprinkle of cinnamon

1. Make the pudding first so it has time to set. Simply follow the directions on the box, by whisking the pudding mix and milk in a medium bowl for 2-3 minutes.

2. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Whisk quickly for 20 seconds and let it rest. Pudding should be set at this point. If not, stick it in the fridge for a few minutes!

3. Next, whip that cream! Again, simply pour heavy cream into a medium bowl and beat on HIGH for 5 minutes until it peaks. This means it is stiff and when you lift your beaters up, it is not runny at all.

4. Cut up your bananas into thin slices.

5. Now, the fun part: LAYERING!!

6. Layer the following in this order:

Pudding
Bananas
Whipped Cream
Cookies

Repeat until bowl is full. I try to do at least 3 rounds of layers!

Sprinkle some cinnamon on top and you're ready to serve!

I like to serve mine in little glass dishes for a personal touch:)

Tip: make it the night before and it will be perfect the next day!

Let me know if you like!
