This no-bake banana dessert combines vanilla pudding cream enriched with butter and roughly broken cookies, layered with halved bananas. Stir butter into the hot pudding, then add the cookies and layer the mixture in a pan with greased sides. Finish the dessert with whipped cream and sour cream. The preparation itself takes about 15 minutes, then let it set in the refrigerator.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Stir the pudding mix into a small amount of the milk until smooth. Pour the remaining milk into a saucepan, add the sugar, and heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Pour in the pudding mixture and cook until thick. Remove from the heat and stir the butter, cut into pieces, into the hot pudding. Once the butter melts, add the sour cream and stir to combine.
Coarsely pulse the cookies into large pieces or break them up by hand, then stir them into the pudding. Grease the sides of the pan with butter to make the dessert easier to slice. Spread 1/3 of the pudding-cookie mixture over the bottom and smooth the surface.
Arrange the halved bananas on top, cover with the remaining pudding-cookie mixture, and smooth the surface.
Whip the heavy cream and spread it over the top. Refrigerate the dessert until set.
Serve the dessert once it has set.

Tip: Choose ripe but still firm bananas so they do not get crushed between the layers. Slice the chilled, set dessert with a knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.
