One thing that I have just been craving lately is those foods that remind me of summer. Home grown tomatoes. Watermelon. Iced sweet tea on a hot day...
Maybe I have been craving more vitamin D, warm weather, and overall good ol' sunshine! Midwest winters can kind of be tricky. Last week we had snow on the ground on Monday and it hit 78 degrees by Friday. For me, it's an emotional roller coaster and I just anxiously await for summer each and every day.
I did manage to whip up one of my favorite summer treats this past week to help with the summer cravings :: banana pudding! And it was delish!
I had sort of forgotten how easy banana pudding is and how much it reminds me of my childhood and summertime. Enjoy!
- 3 cups cold milk
- 2 pkg. vanilla instant pudding
- 30 vanilla wafers
- 3 bananas, sliced
- 1 tub (8 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- Pour milk into large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. Let stand 5 min.
- Arrange half of the wafers on bottom of serving bowl or platter; top with layers of half each of the banana slices and pudding. Repeat all layers. Cover with whipped topping.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours. Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.
