Substitutions
If you can’t find vanilla wafers or don’t have any on hand, Chessman cookies will do just fine!
This recipe calls for Jello-O instant vanilla pudding mix. If you can’t find Jello-O instant vanilla pudding mix, you can use ordinary vanilla pudding mix.
For this recipe, you can use any sort of milk you choose in the pudding mix. Personally, I prefer to use condensed milk since I believe it gives the recipe a creamier texture and enhances the overall flavor. I’ve seen several people who have substituted dairy-free or flavored milk, such as vanilla almond milk, for regular milk.
An Insanely Fluffy and Creamy Texture
Pro-tips
Allowing the Double Cookie Banana Pudding to set in the fridge is crucial to the success of this recipe! When you’re ready to slice and serve it, this will give it the proper consistency. The ultimate texture of this dessert, in my view, is what sets it apart from any other pudding you’ve ever tasted.
If you want to double your recipe, you can add another layer of cookies or bananas. You are free to use as many or as few cookies and bananas as you like! This is absolutely up to your taste buds.
It’s critical to keep this pudding refrigerated in between servings.
This is a delicious meal to bring to potlucks and gatherings, but don’t leave it out for too long. This is because it will start losing its form. If it starts to melt and then goes back into the fridge, the dessert may be ruined.
My best suggestion is to remove it from the fridge, serve it right away, and then return it to the fridge! Take it out only when you’re ready to serve it. It’s also vital to keep it in a sealed container in the fridge to avoid it becoming too sloppy!
Frequently Asked Questions
Wrap the pan tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to keep the banana pudding fresh for longer, or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for 3 months.
In the fridge, banana pudding lasts for at least three days. It would be beneficial if you covered the dessert to prevent it from losing its flavor. It may have a different color on the third day, but it is still safe to eat.
The pudding is frequently topped with meringue or whipped cream, which closes the top and prevents the bananas from being exposed to air . The bananas are also protected by the custard. Also, make sure you’re not using overripe bananas.
