Prepare a large box of instant banana pudding according to the regular package directions (3 cups of cold milk to one large box of pudding),
Instead of mixing the entire 5 minutes until it is thickened, mix for about 2-3 minutes so its dissolved, but still very pourable.
Pour it all over the cake and spread it around, making sure it gets into all those holes.
Chill the cake until it is cooled completely and the pudding is set.
Next whip up your cream and spread it all over the top.
Crush your cookies, and garnish with the crushed cookies and sliced banana.

I am a banana lover too, yet my boys will only usually eat them when they are cooked in something…SO this recipe sounds great and I certainly will try!!
Oh please do try it… and then let me know what you think! I always love hearing people’s feedback.
Oh my goodness!! This looks absolutely delicious!! 🙂
Nothing like temptation, right? Let me know what you think of the cake if you make the recipe.
I made this for Christmas. I forgot to get the vanilla wafers, but I did have spritz cookies (red with red sugar on top), I crushed them and placed them on top instead. It looked wonderful and tasted great. For Christmas the red was appropriate, it would also be great for Valentine’s Day!
Great trick with the red cookies! Sometimes the best mistakes turn out to be great discoveries 🙂
this cake looks so super yummy reminds me of those cakes from yesteryear

Well, I’m certainly glad you liked the recipe 🙂 I don’t, however, believe in requiring link backs for being featured. It’s not good blogging karma, from my perspective. I’ve never done it on my Friday Flash Blog linky party — which has been going on for 2+ years now.
