Banana Pudding Bites
This is so cute…and very good. Does take time to ‘chill’ the pudding but well worth it.
Adapted from Sandra Lee. It can also be found in her cookbook Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade Desserts.
Ingredients:
3 Medium size ripe bananas
32 Vanilla wafers
1 box (3.4 ounces) banana cream pudding mix
1 1/2 cups milk
5 crumbled vanilla wafer cookies, crumbled
Directions:
Prepare pudding. In a medium bowl whisk together pudding mix and 1 and a half cups milk for 2 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours.
Remove ends from a peeled bananas. Cut each banana into twelve 1/2 inch pieces.
Place wafer cookies smooth side down on a plate; top each cookie with a banana slice. Spoon a dollop of pudding over each banana piece (see note). Sprinkle with crumbled cookies to garnish.
**Note: I put my pudding into a plastic baggy and snipped of one corner and put a wilton tip on my bag and pipped it out onto the cookie. I also didn’t peel all the bananas at once and stored my pudding in the fridge until I needed to prepare a bite.**
The kids loved them….a good snack to have on hand. Perfect for the summer.
~Enjoy!~
