Banana Pudding
June 11, 2012 in pudding

Every week I do this thing where I sit down with my computer and a notebook and say I’m meal planning. What I really do is watch Sister Wives, stare blankly at the computer, and then get so fed up with planning that I delete half of my Pinterest boards.
Last week my “meal plan” consisted of one thing: banana pudding.
I have been wanting to try this particular banana pudding recipe for a very long time but I had it stuck in my head that the Chessmen cookies were expensive. I’m happy to say that they are not that expensive and even if they were, this recipe would be worth it.
This banana pudding is awesome. I love the traditional Nilla Wafers version so much and this one is just as tasty. And it couldn’t be any easier. It took me mere minutes to throw together and then it just had to sit for a few hours before serving it up.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Line the bottom of a 13 by 9 dish with 1 bag of Chessmen and layer the sliced bananas on top.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk and French vanilla pudding until no lumps remain. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together and beat until smooth. Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding and stir until blended. Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas and cover with the remaining bag of Chessmen.. Refrigerate for at least a couple of hours before serving.





Oh yum! I love banana pudding :)
Meal planning for me when my husband isn’t here goes like this: M: popcorn, T: rice, W: fruit salad, TH: sandwich F: pizza. Done. And ummm this banana pudding is
stellar!
This is the best banana pudding recipe ever! I do make one change to it, however. I leave out the sweetened condensed milk because it makes it much too sweet for my taste. It is still plenty sweet without it.
yum! i don’t think I’ve ever had banana pudding. This looks great! Love the cookies on top. cute!
Okay, I would think about this all day too instead of doing what I should be. Like, right now? That’s what I’m doing. Pinned for (definite) later use!

These look so cool with the cookies on top! Love pudding. What a great and easy snack to have on a weeknight while watching tv :)
Yum. I love banana pudding! This looks great.
I used to make this all the time and it fabulous! I love the Chessman cookies in it, they don’t get soggy like nilla wafers do.
