Trish Schoofs' no-cook banana dessert is old-fashioned comfort food that tastes like you fussed. "This recipe is a real winner at our house," she writes from her West Bend, Wisconsin kitchen. "Not only is it lighter in fat and calories, but it's light on your time, too. Plus, it's a great way to use up bananas."

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your dessert will be.
  • Use a variety of cookies: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of cookies to create a unique and delicious dessert.
  • Don't overmix the pudding: Overmixing can make the pudding tough and rubbery. Stir until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Chill the dessert before serving: This will help the pudding to set and the flavors to meld together.
