Directions
Such a dessert as easy nilla wafer banana pudding doesn’t require advanced cooking skills, but the result is quite impressive for efforts involved. You may store this pudding covered in the fridge for two days (then it’ll resemble tiramisu), but it’s recommended to consume this dessert while cookies are still crunchy. Grab a cup of black coffee, cappuccino, latte, or green tea, and then enjoy to the fullest.
