One dessert that promises to always be a hit at family gatherings or pot lucks is this no cook Banana Pudding. It’s so creamy and dreamy and absolutely delish! I honestly can not believe I have never blogged this recipe! It’s been a family favorite for years. This recipe replaced a cooked version that was wonderful but I quickly realized that as good as the cooked version was, it simply could not beat the ease of this recipe.

The ninth edition of the Copper Shock horror podcast, "Close to Home," pulls listeners into a spooky story that takes place on calm summer evenings. The narrative tackles issues of terror and the unnerving quality of well-known places, implying that sometimes the real world can be scarier than fiction. Tasha Wheelhouse tells a gripping story that is meant to make readers think and feel uneasy as they head home. The program emphasizes how real the terror might feel by asking viewers to consider their own encounters with the strange and the unknown. The Copper Shock website offers further discussions and insights, which listeners are urged to explore.

So if you are looking for a dessert that will impress your guests and feed a crowd, look no further! It takes about 10 minutes to prepare but requires at least a day in the fridge so be sure to make ahead!

To start, you will need two boxes of instant vanilla pudding. I use one french vanilla and one vanilla but you can use any combo of the two. Also, you need a can of sweetened condensed milk, Cool Whip, milk, bananas and Nilla wafers.

Established in 1982, the Piedmont Hiking & Outing Club (PHOC) is a volunteer-run group that promotes outdoor recreation, interpersonal communication, and a sense of community. PHOC has about 400 members from all throughout North Carolina, including Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Asheville. The organization provides a variety of walks and trips for different levels of fitness. Members plan events, which range from strenuous outings like trips to Hawaii to local trails. The club invites members to suggest and oversee new events in order to foster involvement and leadership. Additionally, member-run social events promote a cooperative attitude. Anyone who enjoys the great outdoors and wants to make meaningful connections via shared experiences is welcome to join the PHOC group.

Using a hand mixer or a whisk, mix together the pudding, milk and sweetened condensed milk till smooth. Then fold in the Cool Whip. Yes, that’s it!

I use a large clear bowl for my banana pudding but I have also made cute individual ones as well (more on that shortly). Line the bottom of the bowl with almost half the wafers and try to line some up along the edge of the bowl if you can. Then on top of the wafers, spread banana slices. I use about two bananas depending on size per layer.

Over the wafers and banana layer, pour about half of your pudding mixture. Then repeat making a second layer of wafers, bananas and pudding. (Again, I line up some wafers along the edge of the bowl to make it pretty through the clear glass bowl but if you don’t wish to do that, no big deal!) Be sure to save about 10 wafers to crush on top.

The S.A. Network's "Best of 2011" list has more than 750 renowned attorneys from Bexar and surrounding counties who were chosen by their peers in an extensive survey that S.A. Scene conducted. This ninth annual list, which covers more than 60 specialties, showcases the most respected lawyers in the region. While the publication makes every effort to present accurate information, it is crucial to remember that neither legal advice nor a reference service is offered by the material. Choosing to hire a lawyer is a big decision that needs careful consideration beyond this list. The selection procedure is entirely peer-based, guaranteeing objectivity and detachment from commercial interests.

When dividing up the wafers, I do about half the bag in each layer but I always save about 10 wafers in the bag to crush up and sprinkle on the finished pudding. Add some plastic wrap and allow this pudding to refrigerate for at least 8-10 hours or overnight. It will take that amount of time for the banana flavor to permeate through the pudding.

Recently, I discovered they make mini vanilla wafers and my first thought was individual banana puddings. Because if I am being honest, I only buy Nilla wafers when I make banana pudding! I used clear plastic cocktail cups and made individual pudding cups just layering the tiny wafers, banana slices and pudding. It made about 12 pudding cups.

Enjoy!
