If you haven’t experienced the charm of Savannah, Georgia, it’s time to add it to your travel list. I spent two wonderful years in that city post-college and would return in an instant. The culinary delights, the historic architecture, and the warm, inviting locals create an unforgettable atmosphere. Among the many culinary treasures I discovered there, banana pudding stands out.

Yes, banana pudding is a well-known dessert, but its unique combination of pudding, ripe bananas, vanilla wafers, and whipped cream makes it an extraordinary comfort food.

While I have previously made banana pudding from scratch, including whipping the cream by hand, I eventually opted for a simpler version that requires minimal effort. Surprisingly, this easy banana pudding is often preferred by those who try it.

The Easy Banana Pudding Ingredients

• 2 packages of instant vanilla pudding (1 oz each)
• 2 overripe bananas
• 1 container of whipped topping, thawed
• 1 package of vanilla wafers

Instructions:

1. Prepare the instant pudding according to the package instructions for pie filling in a large bowl. Once it sets, gently fold in the whipped topping and refrigerate.
2. Slice the bananas into ½-inch thick pieces.
3. Begin layering the ingredients in a 2-quart casserole dish: start with a layer of vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of banana slices, and then a ½-inch layer of pudding mixture. Repeat these layers until the ingredients are exhausted or you reach the top of the dish, ensuring the final layer is pudding.
4. For a more sophisticated presentation, consider serving individual portions in ramekins.
5. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, but overnight is ideal. The extended refrigeration enhances the flavor profile and allows the wafers to soften into delightful little vanilla cakes!

Note:

This recipe can easily be adapted to accommodate dietary restrictions. To make it diabetic-friendly, substitute sugar-free pudding and whipped topping, along with sugar-free vanilla wafers. If sugar-free wafers are hard to find, Murray sugar-free shortbread cookies are an excellent alternative.
