SALTED CARAMEL BANANA PUDDING
Why I Love This Recipe
A delicious new twist on a traditional favorite dessert.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
3/4 cup cold water
1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
4 cups heavy whipping cream
5-6 bananas, cut into thin slices
1-2 cups Salted Caramel Sauce , or store bought
1 box Nilla wafers
Directions
In a medium bowl whisk together sweetened condensed milk, water, pudding mix and vanilla bean paste until well combined
Cover pudding mix with plastic wrap, making sure to pass it down onto the mix to prevent it from forming a film on top
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow pudding to set up
Once ready to assemble in the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form
Using a spatula gently fold the pudding mixture into the whipped cream until all is incorporated but making sure to not over mix
To build the pudding place a layer of pudding on the bottom of the trifle bowl (or in mason jars)
Top with a layer of bananas
Drizzle caramel sauce over bananas
Next spoon on another layer of pudding
Top with Nilla wafers
Repeat until trifle (or mason jars) are full
Finish with additional sliced bananas or Nilla wafers and caramel sauce
Serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours, but not much longer than that or the cookies will get mushy
