Easy Banana Pudding – So you just moved out of your parents’ house and don’t know how to cook? Don’t worry, Unk got you. This ain’t your grandma’s

banana pudding — but it might just taste like it. We’re talking thick, creamy layers of pudding, buttery crust, and cookies so good they’ll have you checking your fridge at midnight.

And look — bananas? We respect them. But we keep them on the side, so they don’t get mushy. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

🍌 Easy Banana Pudding for Beginners (Unk Style)

🛒 Ingredients

• 1 large box instant vanilla pudding
• 1 small box banana cream pudding
• 4 cups ice-cold milk
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 block softened cream cheese (room temp or microwaved briefly)
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 container Cool Whip
• 1 box vanilla wafers
• 1 stick melted butter
• 1 bag Chessmen cookies
• Sliced bananas (served tableside for that fresh bite)

🍨 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make That Filling Like Unk

• In a big bowl, whisk together your pudding mixes and cold milk. No need for a mixer — a spatula and some elbow grease will do just fine.
• Add in the condensed milk, softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
• Gently fold in Cool Whip until fully combined.

2. Make a Bottom Crust (Optional but Fire)

• Crush up vanilla wafers and mix them with melted butter.
• Press into the bottom of a baking dish.
• Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes just to toast it up.
• Let it cool before you build your layers.

3. Build It Up, Nephew

• Start with a layer of pudding on the bottom.
• Add a layer of whole vanilla wafers on top of that.
• Add the rest of your pudding.
• Finish with a layer of Chessmen cookies neatly arranged on top.

❄️ Chill Time

Pop the whole thing in the fridge overnight. Trust Unk — it hits different the next day.

Serve with fresh sliced bananas on the side, so every bite stays crisp, sweet, and never mushy.
