Easy Banana Pudding

• servings: 9 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 4 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 (11 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies

1 (3.4 ounce) small (4-serving) box vanilla instant pudding mix

3-4 large ripe bananas, (thinly sliced, plus extra for garnish)

1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), (thawed)

Directions

Prepare the pudding according to the package instructions. Refrigerate and set aside.

Arrange vanilla wafer cookies in a single layer on the bottom of an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. I used 24 cookies for each layer. Use a spatula to spread half of the prepared pudding (approximately 1 cup) over the cookies. Top the pudding with a single layer of banana slices. Repeat the layers, starting with cookies.

Top the final layer of banana slices with whipped topping. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).

Just before serving, garnish with extra vanilla wafers and sliced banana, if desired.
