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.

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

Sorry, I can't think where it might be. I would bet if anyone had any of
the Mr. Food books that he would have the recipe. Jill's recipe looks
pretty much as I vaguely remember it. Mine made an enormous amount - a 9x13
pan full. Vanilla wafers on the bottom, a layer of pudding, a layer of
bananas, more pudding and topped with whipped cream or whipped topping.

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.

Oh, Jill, how could you? Instant pudding and whipped topping? Oh, hell, I

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.

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.

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

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.

That looks like shortbread to me. I'll just use whatever I find that's

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
