addictive banana pudding



May 19, 2014

I’ve grown quite addicted to Metropolitan Market’s banana pudding. It feels like every weekend I’m finding a reason to pick up a delicious cup. But at $4 a pop for a small serving, I couldn’t keep it up. I decided to experiment with replicating the recipe at home. I studied the ingredient list: pudding mix, vanilla wafers, bananas, heavy cream, and the secret ingredient – sweetened condensed milk.

It tastes just like at the store, a rich, creamy banana pudding. My taste buds are so excited that I unlocked the secret, my waist line, not so much.

Ingredients

  • small box banana pudding mix
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk 
  • 1/2 cup water 
  • 2 bananas
  • heavy cream for whipped cream 
  • 1 box vanilla wafers to taste
  • a few tablespoons sugar
  • vanilla extract
  • heavy whipping cream

Directions

  • In large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and water. 
  • Add banana pudding mix; beat until well blended. 
  • Chill 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until stiff. Add sugar and vanilla to taste.
  • Fold in half of the whipped and add sliced bananas.
  • Layer pudding mix, whipped cream and vanilla wafers in a serving dish. 
  • Garnish as desired (in my case salted caramel sauce!)
