Ingredients

• 1 box (3.4 oz) Fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups Skim milk
• 1 container (8 oz) Fat-free whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
• 3 large Overripe bananas
• 30 pieces Reduced-fat vanilla wafers
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.25 tsp Powdered cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the fat-free instant vanilla pudding mix and skim milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let it sit for 5 minutes to set.

Step 2

Fold the fat-free whipped topping into the pudding mixture gently, ensuring it is well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix to incorporate.

Step 3

Peel the bananas and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 4

In a serving dish or a 2-quart glass trifle bowl, begin layering the pudding. Start by spreading a thin layer of the pudding mixture on the bottom.

Step 5

Add a layer of vanilla wafers on top of the pudding, followed by an even layer of sliced bananas.

Step 6

Repeat the layering process (pudding, wafers, bananas) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle powdered cinnamon over the top for extra flavor and garnish.

Step 8

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy this light and creamy dessert!
