Banana pudding is the Southern dessert of soft vanilla pudding layered with sliced bananas and wafers that turn cake-like as they sit. Ultra-filtered milk and skyr make the pudding thick and creamy with real protein. Eat it right away for crunch or chill it overnight for the classic soft layers.

Ingredients

For 6 cups.

Pudding

  • 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups ultra-filtered 2% milk (480 g)
  • 1 scoop unflavored whey protein isolate (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1 1/2 cups plain skyr

Layers

  • 16 vanilla wafers
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced

Method

  1. Whisk the pudding mix, milk and whey for 2 minutes, then leave 5 minutes to thicken. Whisk in the skyr.

  2. Layer the pudding, bananas and wafers in 6 cups, finishing with pudding and a few crushed wafers on top.

Tips

  • Slice the bananas right before layering so they stay pale.
  • Whisk the pudding mix and milk for a full 2 minutes so it sets firmly.
