Provided by ThatJodiGirl

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 20m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup margarine or 1/3 cup butter (melted)
3 bananas (sliced)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
3 1/2 cups cold milk
2 packages instant vanilla flavor pudding and pie filling
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drained)
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping, thawed (I prefer Cool Whip)

Steps:

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar and margarine in a 13 x 9" cake pan.
  • Press evenly onto bottom of pan.
  • Arrange banana slices on crust.
  • Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with a wire whisk or electric mixer until smooth.
  • Gradually beat in milk.
  • Add pudding mixes.
  • Beat until well blended.
  • Spread evenly over banana slices.
  • Spoon pineapple evenly over pudding mixture.
  • Spread Whipped topping over pineapple.
  • Refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Ripen bananas add a sweeter and creamier flavor to your banana pudding. You can speed up the ripening process by placing unripe bananas in a paper bag with an apple or pear for 24-48 hours.
  • Choose your vanilla extract carefully: Vanilla extract is a key ingredient in banana pudding, so be sure to choose a high-quality extract. Pure vanilla extract is made from vanilla beans and has a more intense flavor than imitation vanilla extract.
  • Don't overmix the pudding: Overmixing the pudding will make it tough and grainy. Stir the ingredients together until just combined.
  • Chill the pudding before serving: Chilling the pudding allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to set. Chill the pudding for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Garnish with whipped cream and bananas: Before serving, top the pudding with whipped cream and sliced bananas. You can also add other toppings, such as nuts, chocolate chips, or graham cracker crumbs.

Conclusion:

Banana pudding is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy vanilla wafers, banana pudding is a crowd-pleaser. The recipe is easy to follow and can be made ahead of time, making it a great choice for busy weeknights or special events. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, banana pudding is a dessert that everyone will love.
