Layers of Bliss: The Ultimate Banana Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

- 2 ripe bananas, sliced

- 1 box (3.4 oz) vanilla pudding mix

- 2 cups milk

- 1 teaspoon James Banana Essence

- 1 cup whipped cream (or cool whip)

- 1 box vanilla wafers

- Optional: crushed graham crackers or more banana slices for topping

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mix and milk. Whisk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.

2. Add James Banana Essence: Stir in the banana essence until well combined.

3. Layer the Ingredients: In a serving dish, layer vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by a layer of banana slices, then pour half of the pudding over the top. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, finishing with pudding.

4. Top with Whipped Cream: Spread the whipped cream over the top layer of pudding. 

5. Chill - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.

6. Serve: Optionally, top with crushed graham crackers or additional banana slices before serving.
