Chick-fil-A Banana Pudding (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
1 box Nilla Wafers
02 -
5-6 large barely ripe bananas
→ Pudding Mixture
03 -
396g (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
04 -
355ml (1.5 cups) ice-cold water
05 -
99g (3.5 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
→ Cream Layer
06 -
590ml (2.5 cups) heavy cream
07 -
160g (2/3 cup) marshmallow fluff
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk with ice-cold water until well combined. Add the vanilla pudding mix and whisk vigorously until no lumps remain. Cover and refrigerate until set, approximately 4 hours.
02 -
Once pudding has set, in a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the marshmallow fluff and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
03 -
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding in increments, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Stir until minimal streaks remain.
04 -
In a 9x13 baking dish or large bowl, arrange a layer of Nilla wafers. Top with a layer of banana slices, then spread 1/3 of the cream mixture evenly over the bananas.
05 -
Repeat the layering process twice more, finishing with a final layer of cream on top. Optional: decorate the top with crushed Nilla wafer crumbs. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, choose bananas that are ripe but still firm to prevent browning and mushiness.
02 -
This pudding can be made up to 24 hours in advance, though the wafers will soften over time.
