Ingredients:
– 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
– 4 cups milk
– 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
– 2 cups sliced strawberries
– 2 ripe bananas, sliced
– Whipped cream for topping
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, melted butter, and if you want a touch more sweetness, add the granulated sugar. Mix it all together and then press this delicious mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool completely.
2. While that’s cooling, grab another bowl and whisk together the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until it’s perfectly smooth. Let it sit for a bit to thicken up—it’s about to get dreamy!
3. Once your crust is cool, spread the pudding layer evenly over it. Now, it’s time to layer on the sliced strawberries and bananas for that fresh fruity goodness.
4. Finish it off with a generous topping of whipped cream—it’s pure indulgence.
5. Allow your dessert to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. This will make it even creamier and more flavorful!
Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite of your Strawberry Banana Pudding Dream!
