Banana Pudding Recipe with sweetened condensed milk and Cool Whip

The other day, Mike requested banana pudding for dessert. I replied, "We just had banana pudding the other weekend!" He didn't care and the kids were all enthusiastically onboard with the idea too. This is one of our favorite desserts and I thought I'd share the recipe with you today. 

I normally just put the banana pudding into one serving bowl and put vanilla wafers around the top but Emily helped me serve these in our fancy parfait cups with some extra Cool Whip on top. I put the leftover banana pudding into a smaller serving bowl for another day.

 

I always make my banana pudding the lighter way with Lite Cool Whip and fat-free sweetened condensed milk. To me, it doesn't make a big difference in the taste or texture of the dessert. To me, what does make a difference is using generic pudding mix. When I have used generic pudding mix, the pudding is not as thick and creamy so, I always use Jell-O brand pudding.  

If you have any questions about this recipe, please ask in the comments and I'd be happy to help.
