Whenever my family gathers for holidays or special occasions, my husband and I are always asked to bring the banana pudding. Everyone loves it and it is quick and easy to fix.

Ingredients:

6-8 bananas
2 boxes of vanilla wafers (Nabisco)
2 16 oz tubs of cool whip
2 boxes of instant banana pudding mix
4 cups of cold milk

Equipment:

1 - 3 inch deep casserole dish with lid (the aluminum pans work best)
1 - mixing bowl
1 - whisk
1 - spatula

Combine the instant banana pudding and cold milk whisking until the pudding reaching desired consistency. Fold in the cool whip. Set aside. Layer the bottom of the casserole dish with vanilla wafers. Slice the banana into 1 quarter pieces. Cover the wafers with the bananas. Cover the bananas and wafers with the pudding mixture. Repeat the layering process 2 more times ending with the cool whip mixture on the top. Cover the cool whip mixture with crumbled vanilla wafers. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Serve and enjoy.
