Light and Dreamy Banana Pudding Recipe

Light and Dreamy Banana Pudding Recipe

  • 2 cups 1% reduced-fat milk
  • 1/3 cup SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 24 reduced-fat vanilla wafers
  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • Garnish: Reduced-fat frozen whipped topping, thawed
  1. Combine milk, SPLENDA(R) Granulated Sweetener, cornstarch, egg, and salt in a medium saucepan; whisk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla.
  2. Place 2 vanilla wafers in each of 4 (1-cup) dessert cups; divide half of the banana slices among cups. Top bananas with 1/4 cup of the hot pudding. Repeat layering with 2 more of the wafers per cup, remaining banana slices, and remaining pudding. (Cover bananas with the pudding to prevent browning.) Cover surface of each pudding with plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 hours or until chilled.
  3. Insert 2 of the remaining vanilla wafers into each pudding; top with whipped topping.
