Recipe Introduction
If you work fast and follow this method to the letter, you will have very few dishes to clean up. Make it around lunch time and it will be ready after the show. Whipped cream or Cool Whip is usually available at 7-11.
List of Ingredients
1 banana, procured from Catering and sliced
2 c milk (2 individual cartons or 1 pint, procured from Catering
1 4-serving box instant pudding, either banana cream or vanilla flavor
19 Vanilla wafers, whole
6 Vanilla wafers, crushed
Cinnamon or cocoa powder in a shaker jar
Optional: Hershey's syrup to drizzle plate
Optional: Whipped cream in a spray can (a fresh one please, God knows where it's been)
Recipe
Working fast, peel and slice the banana. Set aside. Pour milk into the plastic mixing bowl. Sprinkle the pudding mix on top, put the lid on tightly, and shake until thoroughly mixed and pudding starts to thicken. Lay the whole vanilla wafers on top of the pudding and use the handle of a spoon or the end of a Sharpie to submerge them under the pudding, making sure they're buried in the pudding to make a layer of cookies on the bottom of the dish. (They'll want to float at first, but will sink as pudding thickens. Keep pushin'!) Repeat with bananas. Crush remaining cookies and sprinkle evenly over the top. Garnish with a very light sprinkling of cinnamon, or a light dusting of cocoa powder. Let stand in fridge at least five hours so flavors combine and cookies become soft. To serve, drizzle each plate with Hershey's syrup, spoon some pudding mixture on top, and garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
