Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups almond milk or any dairy free milk
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 box Nilla Wafers
- 3 Bananas ripe, medium sized
- 1 container Coco Whip optional for topping
Instructions
Making the Vanilla Pudding
- Combine sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large saucepan. Whisk to combine.
- Pour in the cold milk slowly, and whisk until smooth.
- Heat saucepan to medium-high and cook until the milk starts to thicken. Stir as needed to prevent lumps. Allow the pudding to cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon with a thick layer.
- Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let the pudding cool to room temperature. You can also let the pudding chill in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble. Simply cover the pudding with plastic wrap, gently pressing the wrap directly onto the pudding and refrigerate until ready to serve.
How to Layer Banana Pudding
- Layer the vanilla cookies on the bottom of the dish.
- Add the banana slices on top of the cookies.
- Pour on the vanilla pudding in a thick layer to cover the cookies and bananas.
- Repeat these steps until you get to just about the top of your serving dish.
- Add on a dollop of the whipped cream topping and a little extra crumbled vanilla cookies and serve.
