Real Old Fashioned Nanner Puddin Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and the cold water. Add the pudding mix and stir briskly until well mixed. I use a spoon and my biggest bowl, you are going to add the whipped cream to this mix. Chill the pudding mix for 5 minutes.
• Now make the whipped cream. I use my KitchenAid mixer for this, you want it to be stiff peaks.
• Combine the heavy whipping cream with the vanilla extract, the powdered sugar and the pudding mix you reserved. The pudding mix keeps the whipped cream from "weeping". and makes it travel well. Whip to stiff peaks, and reserve one cup of whipped cream for your topping.
• While the cream is whipping, slice your bananas. I do them in "little finger" widths, you don't want them too thick. Some recipes call for tossing them in lemon juice; I don't do this because i don't like the citrus with the whipped cream and they won't sit long enough to get brown.
• Remembering to reserve 1 cup of whipped cream, fold the rest of your whipped cream into the pudding mix.
• Now it's time to build the pudding. In your serving container, start with a layer of pudding mix, then a layer of vanilla wafers, and a layer of bananas. I can usually get 3 layers of pudding, wafers and bananas, ending with the last of the pudding mix. Frost with your reserved whipping cream and garnish with some crushed vanilla wafers if you like. Chill overnight.
