Ingredients
Vanilla Wafer Crust:
- 1.5 cup crushed Vanilla Wafers (120g)
- 1/4 cup light butter (56g) melted
- 2 Tbsp sugar-free pancake syrup (30g)
Banana Cream Filling + Topping:
- 4 (0.9-oz) boxes sugar-free instant banana pudding mix (100g)
- 2 cups fat-free milk (480g)
- 1 (8-oz.) container light whipped topping (226g) separated, room temperature
- Vanilla wafers crushed, optional for topping if desired
Instructions
- Line a 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and/or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
For the Vanilla Wafer Crust:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add all the crust ingredients and mix together until combined. Transfer it into the lined pan and press down until mostly smooth. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes.
For the Banana Cream Filling:
- Whisk instant pudding mix with milk for about a minute. You'll want to do this fast as the instant pudding mix sets very quickly. Once combined, fold in 1 cup of the cool whip (72g). Layer the banana cream filling over the crust and smooth out evenly.
For the Topping:
- Top with the remaining whipped topping. Use a spatula to spread out evenly over the banana cream layer.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before slicing.
Notes
These bars are best the next day, chilled, after the texture has set and the flavors have come together overnight. Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
To make gluten-free: replace Vanilla Wafers for a gluten-free alternative.
