2. In a large bowl, combine instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Whisk until it’s smooth and thick. 

3. Add the whipped cream and stir well. 

4. Carefully slice the bananas in rounds.

5. Place the sliced bananas on top of the wafers in the dish.

6. Pour the pudding mixture on the casserole, just enough to cover over the first layer.

7. Create the second layer in the same way.

8. Rinse and repeat the process, until you finish the ingredients.

Substitutions

• Banana-flavored pudding — If you can get your hands on banana-flavored pudding, feel free to swap the instant vanilla pudding with the former.

• Cool whip — Although whipping cream suits just well for our banana pudding recipe no bake, if you want a lighter version, a cool whip is a great substitute since it contains light cream and skim milk.

• Butter cookies — Although it's just a personal preference, some people prefer the taste of butter cookies over the vanilla wafers.

Variations

• Not sweet enough? — If you don’t find this no-bake banana pudding recipe sweet enough, add some sweetened condensed milk to the pudding mixture. Sweetened condensed milk will also thicken the texture of your pudding.

Equipment

• 9” x 13” casserole dish.

• Whisk.

Storage

You can store the leftover banana pudding pies in an airtight container. However, try to eat before the bananas turn brown, which would take 3-4 days.

Tips

• The timing — Slice the bananas only when you are ready to use them. Otherwise, they will turn brown in no time. Here’s a tip. Dip the bananas in citrus juice so that they will not turn quickly.

• Chill — This banana no bake pudding recipe tastes best when the pudding mix has been chilled the day before. Take your time and prepare the pudding mix a day before, and make sure it’s chilled.
