Banana Pudding Fluff Salad Ingredients
- 1 box (3.4 ounces) INSTANT vanilla or banana pudding mix (may substitute sugar-free)
- 1 cup nonfat milk
- 1 container (8 ounces) Cool Whip (may substitute sugar-free)
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 cups Vanilla Wafers (broken into pieces)
- 3 medium bananas (sliced)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and nonfat milk thoroughly. Let the mixture sit for about 3 minutes to thicken and set properly.
- Combine ingredients: Gently fold in the Cool Whip to the set pudding until well combined. Then, carefully stir in the mini marshmallows, broken pieces of vanilla wafers, and sliced bananas, ensuring an even distribution of all components.
- Serve promptly: Serve the salad the same day it is made to maintain the freshness of the bananas and the crispness of the vanilla wafers. The bananas will brown and the cookies will soften if left for too long.
Notes
- For a lower sugar option, substitute sugar-free instant pudding mix and sugar-free Cool Whip.
- Slice bananas just before mixing to minimize browning.
- This dessert is best enjoyed fresh; avoid overnight storage to keep the texture optimal.
- Can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours before serving, but not recommended longer due to banana discoloration and cookie sogginess.
