Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 4 medium bananas, sliced
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup vanilla wafers, crushed (plus extra for garnish)
Dairy and Pudding Components:
- 2 cups (473 ml) cold milk
- 1 (8 ounces / 227 grams) container whipped topping, thawed
- 1 (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) box instant banana pudding mix
Instructions
- Craft a smooth, velvety base by whisking banana pudding mix with cold milk until the mixture reaches a thick, luxurious consistency.
- Incorporate whipped topping into the pudding, gently folding until the texture becomes uniformly creamy and light.
- Introduce a medley of textures by carefully stirring in fluffy marshmallows, ripe banana slices, and crumbled vanilla wafers throughout the mixture.
- Allow the pudding salad to harmonize its flavors by chilling in the refrigerator for a minimum of 60 minutes, ensuring each ingredient melds together deliciously.
- Elevate the presentation by adorning the chilled dessert with additional banana slices and a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers just before serving.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of marshmallows or using sugar-free pudding mix for a lighter version.
- Prevent banana browning by tossing sliced bananas in a bit of lemon juice before adding to the pudding mixture.
- Enhance texture by toasting vanilla wafers briefly before crushing for a deeper, nuttier flavor profile.
- Make it gluten-free by substituting vanilla wafers with gluten-free graham crackers or almond cookies.
