Description
Indulge in the rich, fudgy goodness of brownies topped with creamy banana pudding, perfect for gatherings or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (or homemade for a 9×13 pan)
- Ingredients required for the brownie mix (eggs, oil, water)
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant banana pudding mix
- 1½ cups cold milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½–2 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip) or homemade whipped cream
- 1–1½ cups crushed vanilla wafers
- Banana slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare brownie batter according to package or recipe directions. Bake in a greased 9×13-inch pan as directed. Allow the brownies to cool completely.
- In a bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract until thickened, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
- Once the brownies are cooled, spread the banana pudding evenly over the top of the brownies.
- Gently spread whipped topping over the banana pudding layer and sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers on top.
- Refrigerate for 1–2 hours to let the layers set, then slice into squares and serve.
Notes
For optimal texture, chill well and avoid overbaking the brownies. Garnish with banana slices just before serving to prevent browning.
