Notes
- Blending: Use a high-speed blender to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly blended. This helps break down any lumps and creates a smoother consistency. I also tested this with a food processor and it didn’t get as smooth. A high-speed blender is a MUST to get that silky consistency.
- Low Carb Option: remove the banana, sub High Key low-carb wafers for regular wafers and use sugar free syrup in place of maple syrup.
- Gluten-Free Option: make the recipe as is and use Simple Mills Sweet Thins in place of regular wafers.
- Dairy-Free Option: Sub your favorite dairy-free yogurt in place of cottage cheese, use dairy-free whipped topping, dairy-free milk and use Simple Mills Sweet Thins in place of regular wafers.
- Storage: Transfer the pudding to an airtight container or cover with a lid. Refrigerate for 3-4 days. Before serving leftover pudding, give it a quick stir to redistribute any separated ingredients, and enjoy it chilled for the best taste and texture.

If the mixture is too thick, add milk gradually until you achieve the desired consistency. Start with a tablespoon of milk and increase as needed until you reach your preferred texture
- In two glasses, layer crushed wafers at the bottom, followed by a tablespoon of whipped topping and banana pudding. Repeat the layers, finishing with whipped topping, crushed wafers, and a slice of banana on top.
