Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (3.4 oz) Fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups Skim milk
- 1 container (8 oz) Fat-free whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 3 large Overripe bananas
- 30 pieces Reduced-fat vanilla wafers
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Powdered cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix and skim milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let it sit for 5 minutes to set.
Fold the fat-free whipped topping into the pudding mixture gently, ensuring it is well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix to incorporate.
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
In a serving dish or a 2-quart glass trifle bowl, begin layering the pudding. Start by spreading a thin layer of the pudding mixture on the bottom.
Add a layer of vanilla wafers on top of the pudding, followed by an even layer of sliced bananas.
Repeat the layering process (pudding, wafers, bananas) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
If desired, sprinkle powdered cinnamon over the top for extra flavor and garnish.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.
Serve chilled and enjoy this light and creamy dessert!
