2tbspsour cream or softened cream cheese (optional, for tang)
extra wafer crumbs or banana slices, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl so no dry mix remains.
Fold in the thawed whipped topping with a spatula until fully combined and fluffy.
If using, fold in the sour cream or softened cream cheese for added richness and gentle tang.
Gently stir in the sliced bananas, plant-based or halal-certified mini marshmallows, and crushed vanilla wafers.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the wafers to soften slightly.
Before serving, garnish with extra wafer crumbs or banana slices if desired. Serve chilled.
