Anyone have a recipe?

Banana Pudding? The recipe (cloyingly sweet, if you ask me?) is right
there ont he box of 'nilla wafers.
Basically just vanilla pudding, sliced bananas and Nilla Wafers layered
in a dish and let to chill a bit.

Probably tons on the net, found this exceptionally grotesque one... sub
nilla wafer crumb crust for the grahams.
BANANA PUDDING PIE
7 ripe bananas, sliced
2 cups whole milk
1 5 oz. pkg. French vanilla pudding mix (instant)
1 8 oz. pkg. Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon banana flavored liquor or extract
1 14 oz. can condensed milk (sweetened)
1 12 oz. tub Cool Whip, thawed
1 graham cracker crust
Mix the pudding mix with the milk in a blender or with an electric
mixer. Use the type of instant pudding mix which doesn't require
cooking.
In a separate bowl, blend condensed milk with the cream cheese until
smooth, then fold in the Cool Whip.
Combine cream cheese mixture and pudding mixture, and stir in the
liquor or banana extract, combining well.
Slice the bananas and layer over the bottom of the pie crust. Spread
mixture over bananas.
Refrigerate until serving time. Garnish with chocolate curls or
additional Cool Whip and banana slices.

Does this look right? I don't remember it being chocolate
from the picture on the box.

Banana pudding! It's lovely stuff.

Look for Banana Pudding on the Nabisco site. I haven't. I'll bet it's
there.

I've got it somewhere, Carol. It's been decades since I made it -- I've
just got to remember where the darn thing is. Hold on.

Three. I'll mail the third one to you. :D

I'm positive that no chocolate molecules were injured in the making of
this dessert. ;)

This must be a southern thing because the SO make a very simple variety.
It's two boxes of Nilla Wafers, two boxes of Vanilla pudding and a few
bananas along with some vanilla extract and a little bit of sugar.
Its so sweet it makes your teeth hurt just looking at it, but it does
taste good.

That's a pretty decent recipe for it. When they start making things with
instant pudding and CoolWhip, it just turns my stomach.

I found recipes with the instant pudding and coolwhip, so I tried it, and I
have quite a sweet tooth, but even I found it was too much. This one does
sound much better. I'll try this one soon.
Jen
Does anyone know a substitute for the "Nilla wafers'?? I don't think we get
them here.
Jen
I have occasionally made banana pudding using gingersnaps. It's a bit
spicier, but still very nice. I think digestive biscuits might not be
flavorful enough. Vanilla wafers have a fairly strong vanilla flavor,
albeit, most is artificial flavoring.
Years ago, Nabisco's wafers were call "Vanilla Wafers". Now they are
called " 'Nilla Wafers". It think it was a truth in advertising thing,
since they were using artificial vanilla flavoring.
Oh, Wayne, I couldn't! My former MIL made this stuff. Maybe that's what
about it makes me shudder. I eat dessert on rare occasions... I actually
like Jell-O :)
Jill
It's on the box of the Nilla Wafers. Use corn starch to thicken
instead of flour though, or it will be too gummy.

I have bought and used CoolWhip now and again, especially when real whipped
cream wasn't possible or convenient. I begin to shudder when I see it has
become an ingredient in a recipe, especially one with instant pudding! :-)
I can't stand Velveeta! :-) Not being a snob about it. I just don't like
either the texture or flavor.
So it's just a vanilla flavoured cookie?? Wafers here are usually a 'very'
thin, light type of cookie, very different from a normal one.
Jen
That looks like shortbread to me. I'll just use whatever I find that's
vanilla flavoured. Thanks.
Jen
No, not like shortbread. These are not rich cookies like shortbread.
They're quite crisp, dry, and fairly light textured, but thicker than your
wafers. I suspect that a digestive biscuit might make a fair substitute.
The vanilla wafers will soften completely in the pudding.
Here's another question, sorry! What are digestive biscuits??
Jen
Oops, my bad. :-) That's a UK "cookie" or "biscuit". Are you in Austria?
Here is a recipe for a pretty good vanilla wafer. I'm thinking it might be
best if you baked you own. I can't think of anything else to substitute.
Let me know what you think...
I'm from Australia. Sorry I sound so stupid. I suppose different countries
have different things. I guess I'll try making my own then, and then at
least then I'll have a good idea of what I need and I might be able to match
it up with something I can buy off the shelf next time.
Jen
Nonesense, Jen. There's no such thing as a stupid question. I'm sure I
would be clueless about many of the food products you have in Australia.
That's why I suggested making your own. It will probably come closer to our
commercial product.
Did anyone suggest "graham crackers"? I don't know if you have anything
quite like those either, but that could work, although a bit different.
Please post what you end up doing and how it turned out, and ask absolutely
any other question you may have.
Could you post the recipe for the vanilla wafer you have please. Thanks so
much, you're so helpful
Jen
recipe for Jen:)

Gladly. This is a recipe I once found on Epicurious. It's actually much
tastier than the commercial version, although I've never actually used
these in a banana pudding. They should work well. Be sure to cool the
cookies on a rack, and make sure that they are completely cool before
storing or using. This willl keep them crisp.
Vanilla Wafers
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In medium bowl with mixer at low speed, beat
all ingredients until blended, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber
spatula. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto ungreased
cookie sheets. Bake cookies 10 to 12 minutes until edges of cookies are
browned. With spatula, remove cookies to wire racks to cool. Store cookies
in tightly covered container to use up within 1 week.
Makes 4 dozen.
Ooh, that sounds so much better than the imported digestive biscuits I can
get here. I used to be able to get McVitie's wholemeal digestive biscuits
here, but apparently they don't import them anymore.
Also, you mentioned Graham Crackers, we don't have them, but I've come
across them quite a bit in US recipes. It seems they're often used as a
crumb base for things, I usually just replace them with what we call "Marie"
biscuits. They're a very plain basic cookie, but they're not vanilla
flavoured. I wonder if they might do in place of these nilla wafers?
Jen
Yes, I think you could. It wouldn't be quite the same, but probably close
enough. The custard part of the banana pudding should be highly vanilla
flavored anyway, and I don't think using the plain biscuit would be a
problem. I have bought Marie bilscuts that are made in Cananda, and they
are probably quite similar to what you can get. The ones I had were a nice
crunchy texture.
As I mentioned, the cookies are to soften up when youmake the pudding. It's
important to assemble the pudding while the custard is still hot. This
insures that the cookies get soft.
HTH
Well if you try it please let me know how it goes. I haven't tried it
yet:)
What is cool whip made of? Is it a substitute for cream?
Thank you Michael:) I am not sure I would want to eat something without
knowing what was in it:))
One of these days I will make them. I'll let you know.

Thank you Janet. I don't know if we do or not because it is not
something I have looked for. If I want cream I buy cream. Perhaps
someone else from UK will know!
I have to admit to loving CoolWhip - I mean, eat it by the spoonful LOVE
IT! lol Velveeta - yuck..although I have had a dip made with Velveeta
that was good...not like fancy dinner party good, more like Sunday
football tailgate party good. Take a block of Velveeta (sounds good
right there doesn't it?? Yum lol) and either a jar of Salsa or a can of
chili (no beans) Put them in the crockpot....That's it. Eventually the
stuff melts - you mix 'em together. It's pretty good on tortilla chips.

Here's what's in it (according to the Kraft Food website - they are the
makers of it)
Ingredients: WATER, CORN SYRUP, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (COCONUT AND
PALM KERNEL OILS), HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, LESS THAN 2% OF SODIUM
CASEINATE (FROM MILK), NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, XANTHAN AND GUAR
GUMS, POLYSORBATE 60, SORBITAN MONOSTEARATE, BETA CAROTENE (COLOR).
I like it better NOT knowing what's in it lol
Roberta (in VA)
You're absolutely right, Janet. I just never thought of it that way. :-)
I love both the pie and the pudding.

Good grief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should think so:)
Well I won't be tempted any time soon:)
I searched the internet ages ago trying to find out about it. We don't get
it here in Australia either. When a recipe asks for it, I use whipped cream
instead, I even found out the right quantities to use. We do have something
called "Dairy Whip" here. It's in a can and you spray it on. You probably
wouldn't want to know what's in it either, but I think it's yummy.
Jen
Thanks so much all of you.
Jen
We have an assortment of spray can whipped toppings, most of which you
probably wouldn't want to know about. However, the first one ever to
marketed in the US back in the early 1950s is a product called Reddi-Wip
which is real cream under pressure with an inert gas. It's still on the
market.
Yeah, I think that's the same as our dairy whip. It tastes good as long as
you don't know what's in it.
Jen
ewwwwwwww
