Banana Pudding Bites Recipes

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes, until pudding is smooth and thick. Gently fold in about 3/4 c. of Cool Whip with a rubber spatula. Spoon or pipe a teaspoon or so of pudding onto the rounded side of the vanilla wafers and place flat side down on a serving dish. (I used a teaspoon to spoon it on. To pipe, fill a ziptop plastic bag with the pudding then snip off a corner of the bag.) Top each wafer with a slice of banana. Then with a small dollop of Cool Whip and serve.

Steps:

• To make pudding, in a bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set.
• Cut each banana into 12 pieces (approximately 1/2-inch thick).
• Place 4 vanilla wafer cookies on each of 8 plates and top with bananas. Pipe a heaping teaspoon of pudding on top and sprinkle with crumbled cookies, to garnish.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix sugars and cinnamon until blended. In a large bowl, whisk the first 5 beignet ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg, bananas, milk and 2 tablespoons oil until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened., In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry about 45-60 seconds on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Roll warm beignets in sugar mixture.

Steps:

• Spray two large silicone muffin tins with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs with the melted butter and 2 tablespoons sugar until evenly incorporated. Divide the mixture evenly into two large silicone muffin trays. Press down evenly to form a smooth even crust. Place the pans in the freezer.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, milk and bourbon until well combined. Place in the fridge and let chill until firm.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the chilled pudding and mix until just combined. Fold in 2 cups Cool Whip, being careful not to over-mix.
• Divide evenly into the muffin pans over the crust and spread to make smooth. Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Place in freezer for an hour before serving.
• Remove the chilled cheesecakes from the pans and place on a plate or platter. Place 2 cups cool whip in a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip. Dollop each cheesecake with a bit of Cool Whip and spread out into an even layer. Place a whole vanilla wafer in the center of each cheesecake then pipe a decorative border around the edge of each cheesecake.
