Description
Create a delightful no-bake Banana Pudding Icebox Cake. This easy layered dessert combines vanilla wafers, creamy pudding, and fresh bananas for a taste of classic Southern comfort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 (11.5 ounce) can evaporated milk, chilled
- 1 (16 ounce) package vanilla wafers
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mixes and milk until smooth. Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until well combined.
- Pour the chilled evaporated milk into the pudding mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Arrange a layer of vanilla wafers in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the wafers.
- Arrange half of the sliced bananas over the pudding layer.
- Repeat the layers: vanilla wafers, the remaining pudding mixture, and the remaining banana slices.
- Top with a final layer of vanilla wafers.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use a combination of milk and half-and-half for the pudding.
- Ensure the evaporated milk is very cold for the best texture.
- Chill the cake for at least 4 hours to allow the wafers to soften and create a cake-like consistency.
- Adjust the number of wafers and bananas to your preference.
