Banana Pudding Bites Recipe 45

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set out 2 mini muffin pans that each make 12 tiny muffins.
• Combine vanilla wafer crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt in a bowl. Stir with a fork until well blended.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon crumb mixture into each mini muffin cup. Press mixture firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of each cup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crusts have set, about 10 minutes. Cool muffin pans on a wire rack until completely cool, about 30 minutes.
• Combine instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk until mixture begins to thicken, about 4 minutes. Spoon pudding evenly over the 24 mini muffin cups. Set a banana slice on top of each pudding bite and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix sugars and cinnamon until blended. In a large bowl, whisk the first 5 beignet ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg, bananas, milk and 2 tablespoons oil until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened., In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry about 45-60 seconds on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Roll warm beignets in sugar mixture.

Steps:

• Beat pudding mix and milk with whisk 2 min. (Pudding will be thick.)
• Spoon into resealable plastic bag; press excess air from bag, then seal bag. Cut small piece from one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe pudding onto wafers.
• Top with bananas and COOL WHIP.

Steps:

• Spray two large silicone muffin tins with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs with the melted butter and 2 tablespoons sugar until evenly incorporated. Divide the mixture evenly into two large silicone muffin trays. Press down evenly to form a smooth even crust. Place the pans in the freezer.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, milk and bourbon until well combined. Place in the fridge and let chill until firm.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the chilled pudding and mix until just combined. Fold in 2 cups Cool Whip, being careful not to over-mix.
• Divide evenly into the muffin pans over the crust and spread to make smooth. Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Place in freezer for an hour before serving.
• Remove the chilled cheesecakes from the pans and place on a plate or platter. Place 2 cups cool whip in a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip. Dollop each cheesecake with a bit of Cool Whip and spread out into an even layer. Place a whole vanilla wafer in the center of each cheesecake then pipe a decorative border around the edge of each cheesecake.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, beat pudding mix and milk 2 minutes. Blend in condensed milk until smooth. Stir in vanilla and fold in whipped topping. Layer wafers, bananas and pudding mixture in a glass serving bowl. Chill until serving.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes, until pudding is smooth and thick. Gently fold in about 3/4 c. of Cool Whip with a rubber spatula. Spoon or pipe a teaspoon or so of pudding onto the rounded side of the vanilla wafers and place flat side down on a serving dish. (I used a teaspoon to spoon it on. To pipe, fill a ziptop plastic bag with the pudding then snip off a corner of the bag.) Top each wafer with a slice of banana. Then with a small dollop of Cool Whip and serve.

Steps:

• Remove the ends from the peeled bananas and discard. Cut each banana into ten to twelve 1/2 inch slices.
• Place vanilla wafer cookies on platter, top each cookie with a banana piece.
• Dollop a heaping teaspoon of pudding over each banana piece.
• Sprinkle with crumbled cookies to garnish.
