Heavenly, Reduced-Fat Banana Pudding


You may be asking yourself HOW can the words "heavenly" and "reduced-fat" be in the same sentence as banana pudding.  Well, I'm telling you...they CAN!  And you won't want to miss this.  It does not, I repeat, DOES NOT taste like it is reduced-fat.  But keep that in mind as you go back for seconds and wrap your lips around this delicious morsel.  You won't be able to help yourself...I promise.  Making this recipe reduced-fat was actually pretty easy.  It's all a matter of switching out the ingredients for a light, fat-free, or even sugar-free version.  And no one will be the wiser...it is that decadent!  Enjoy!

Heavenly Reduced-Fat Banana Pudding
  • Reduced fat Nilla Wafers
  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • 1 small package sugar free, fat free instant vanilla pudding
  • 1 can fat free sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fat free sour cream
  • 1 8-oz package Cool Whip Lite
Line a dish with Nilla wafers.  Prepare pudding according to package directions, except use 1/2 cup less milk so it is not too runny. (I typically use 1% milk) Mix remaining ingredients with the prepared pudding.  Fold in the bananas.  Pour over the wafers and chill until ready to serve.

*You can alternately layer the banana slices on top of the wafers and pour the pudding mixture over the top.  Or you can prepare the pudding and present it as a parfait, as I did in the picture above, with alternating layers of the pudding mixture and Nilla wafers.
