Ingredients

Scale

Banana Pudding Fluff Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip, thawed
  • 4 oz Nilla Wafers (about 32), lightly crushed
  • 2 bananas (approximately 225 grams), thinly sliced
  • Additional Nilla Wafers, finely crushed, for topping
  • Additional sliced bananas, for topping

Instructions

  1. Make the pudding base: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk and instant vanilla pudding mix for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes thicker than typical instant pudding consistency.
  2. Fold in remaining ingredients: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip, lightly crushed Nilla Wafers, and thinly sliced bananas into the pudding mixture until no streaks of pudding remain and the wafers and bananas are evenly dispersed throughout.
  3. Chill the fluff: Transfer the banana fluff into a serving bowl, loosely cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. This chilling step allows the wafers to soften and the flavors to meld.
  4. Garnish and serve: After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and top the banana fluff with additional finely crushed Nilla Wafers and more sliced bananas for added texture and presentation before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use whole milk as it helps achieve a creamier texture.
  • Allowing the fluff to chill for at least 3 hours softens the wafers and enhances the flavor.
  • You can substitute Cool Whip with whipped cream for a fresher taste if desired.
  • Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid mushy texture in the fluff.
  • This dessert is best served within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
