I’ve always loved making yummy desserts that seriously take little or no effort, yet taste like you’ve spent a lot of time in the kitchen. No bake desserts are a favorite of mine in the Summer. They are perfect for a quick dish to take to a party or potluck, and this no bake banana pudding cake rivals the deliciousness of my no bake strawberry cloud cake. With only 4 ingredients, you will have this dish ready in a flash. If you aren’t already, you will be a fan of no bake desserts before this post is finished! Ready to make this easy dessert in less than 10 minutes? Let’s get started.
Are you a big fan of no bake desserts? I certainly am. Don’t get me wrong, I love to work in the kitchen and use my favorite appliances. The only thing I have to use with this recipe is a bowl, a whisk, and a wooden spoon. (Pretty awesome for keeping most of my dishes clean.) Not only that, but with only 4 ingredients and less than 10 minutes to make, it’s sure to become one of your new favorite no bake desserts.
No Bake Desserts
The other reason why I am such a big fan of no bake desserts is because they require no use of an oven. When it’s Summer here in Louisiana and it’s 100 degrees outside with a heat index of 110, the last thing you want to do it turn the oven on in your house. No thank you! This No Bake cake let’s me also use my beautiful ceramic bakeware from #WorldMarket without actually baking.
Time is also a factor. No baking also means no mixing time, no baking time, and no cooling times. This delicious no bake banana pudding cake takes less than 10 minutes to make from start to finish. With all of those awesome reasons, why wouldn’t you opt for a no bake dessert?
No Bake Banana Pudding Cake
Here is what you will need for this yummy-in-my-tummy dessert.
- 3 fresh bananas (sliced)
- instant vanilla pudding (already made)
- vanilla wafers
- Twinkies
Step 1: Layer your dessert dish with Twinkies
Step 2: Take your instant vanilla pudding and mix in the sliced bananas.
Pour over the Twinkies.
Step 3: Make a little border around the dessert mixture with the vanilla wafers.
Step 4: Take a few vanilla wafers and crumble them finely, then sprinkle on top of the mixture.
It’s ready to serve! Or you can place in the fridge and cool for an hour before serving. (I like mine cool.)
