Ingredients:
\n 2 (3.9-ounce) packets instant chocolate pudding mix
\n 3 1\/2 cupswhole milk
\n Kosher salt
\n 4 medium bananas
\n 1 (11-ounce) box vanilla wafers
\n 1 (16-ounce) container defrosted whipped topping (or 5 cups freshly whipped cream mixed with 1 cup sour cream, see Author Note)
\n Chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, for serving (optional)<\/p>\n
Directions: <\/p>\n
In a medium bowl, whisk the pudding mix, milk, and a big pinch of salt. Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator and chill until set, about 5 minutes, or cover for up to 24 hours. If you\u2019re chilling for more than 5 minutes, cover with plastic wrap or a bowl cover.
\nWhen you\u2019re ready to assemble the dish, remove the chocolate pudding from the refrigerator and give it a good whisk. Slice the bananas into 1\/4-inch-thick rounds.
\nBuilding your dessert in a 9×13-inch baking dish or cake pan, arrange half of the wafers in the bottom of the dish. Spoon over half of the chocolate pudding and smooth it into a layer. Arrange half of the bananas in a layer on top of the pudding, then spoon over half of the whipped topping and smooth out. Repeat with the remaining wafers, pudding, bananas, and whipped topping. (Alternatively, build the banana pudding in three layers in a 3- or 4-quart mixing bowl; or build individual banana puddings in small cups.)
\nWhile it\u2019s totally acceptable to eat the pudding immediately, the dessert is best refrigerated for at least 2 hours (or even up to 12) to let the flavors mingle\u2014the cookies won\u2019t go soft until well after 24 hours. Before serving, top with chocolate if you\u2019d like. Pudding will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
