Quick Banana Pudding

This is another recipe from the "Cooking the Coalwood Way" cookbook put out by the Coalwood, W. Va. Community United Methodist Church, although I made a couple of changes. I know people who go into road rage just pushing a cart through the Walmart so my extra-quick recipe below is for them.

You're going to need:

2 lg. boxes instant vanilla pudding
1 c. sour cream
1 box of vanilla wafers
3 and one-half c. milk
1 large carton Cool Whip
5 or 6 bananas

The recipe says to mix the pudding and milk until smooth. Mix sour cream and Cool Whip together. Add one-half of mixture to pudding mixture. Layer wafers, bananas, and pudding in dessert dish. Top with rest of sour cream mixture. Top with crumbled wafers.

Here is what I did:

I turned on one of those old-time preachers from southern West Virginia on my tablet and let him preach while I cooked. I used two boxes of cook & serve vanilla pudding, made separately. That meant that I used less milk. I left out the Cool Whip and went easy on the sour cream. While the pudding was cooling a little I put the first layer of wafers in, some sour cream, and some of bananas, and then I added the pudding. I made my second batch of pudding and repeated the process. I used mostly wafer crumbs on the second layer. I deliberately put the bananas on top because I like how they age and give me an added incentive to eat. I used 4 very large bananas. I finished just as that preacher was finishing his sermon and blessing everything that we do this evening.
