Banana pudding is a Southern classic - but when you make it with our thin, crisp cookies instead of traditional wafers, it becomes something truly special. The flavor and delicate crunch of our cookies add a whole new layer of texture and taste to every bite. Whether you're going all-in with our made-from-scratch version or looking for a quick win with our easy mix method, you'll have a crowd-pleasing summer dessert!
Prep time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS
2 cups cold milk
1 5-ounce pack of instant vanilla pudding mix
1 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 12-ounce container frozen whipped topping, thawed
14 oz (about 1.5 of our 9-oz boxes) of Dewey's Cookies

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Gently fold in the whipped topping until everything is fully incorporated.

Assemble the pudding by layering cookies, banana slices, and the pudding mixture in a glass dish - or for single servings, layer into mason jars or trifle bowls.

Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
