Banana Pudding (No Bake)

Granny Beulah went to be with Jesus less than a month before my son was born. I wish they could have met. She would have gotten so much joy from seeing him smile and play, and he would have loved making her laugh. This week I enlisted his help to make her no-bake banana pudding. Now that's my kind of cooking! It was neat going through her recipe with him and having his help with the "cooking." He will hear stories of her throughout his life, but he will know her a little better, a little more personally because of her cooking. So let's cook!

Her recipe:

Banana Pudding

1 large vanilla instant pudding mix

3 cups milk (mix well)

1 large Cool Whip

1 can Eagle Brand milk

mix together

Layer with vanilla wafers and sliced bananas. Top with pudding and add another layer of same and end with pudding mix on top. Put layer of crackers as garnish if you want to.

First, I gathered all of the ingredients.

 (large container of Cool Whip, 3 cups of milk, 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk, 4 bananas, and box of vanilla wafers (not pictured)

We added the large container of Cool Whip into our bowl.

Then, we poured in the can of condensed sweetened milk. 

At this point, we realized that we should have added and mixed the first two ingredients (milk and pudding mix) into the big bowl first, so we brought out a small bowl to mix those two ingredients together.  Little man was fine with this; the more bowls the merrier. 

We stirred all of the wet ingredients together really well. 

Next, we got out our serving dish. We added a layer of vanilla wafers and about 2 bananas sliced.

We poured some of the pudding mixture on top of this. Then, we added some more vanilla wafers and 2 more bananas sliced. We poured another layer of pudding on top of this until the dish could hold no more. We finished by garnishing our dish with vanilla wafers.

This banana pudding was so tasty and so easy! When I make it again for just us three, I'll probably cut the ingredients in half. We still have a lot of leftover pudding in the fridge!
