Excellent. Used 2 cups of milk for the pudding, and 1 cup of the whipped topping. Found it to be creamier,less concentrated.

I took a chance and made this for our granddaughters, one of which always declared that she didn't like pudding. I knew she liked fruit, however so decorated the top with assorted berries. They both absolutely loved it.

I used banana pudding and light whipped cream. I can't believe my child actually ate the banana slices! It's a miracle!!

I already make this dessert in a 9x13 pan, but I add crushed pineapple with the layer of banana and sometimes add coconut to the whipped cream. I use cooked vanilla pudding instead of instant.. (works better with the pineapple) My co-workers love it

Besides delicious, this is a kid-friendly recipe. I made something very similar to this several times with my grandkids and with my niece and nephew when they were all younger. I let them decide if they wanted the fat-free cool whip separate or mixed in. They used my Pampered Chef crinkle cutter....no plug intended, but now you know for sure what it is....to slice the bananas. Then....and they liked this part!...we put a few reduced-fat vanilla wafers in a sandwich bag and they took turns smacking it with the smooth side of the meat tenderizer hammer to make crumbs to sprinkle on top. We also used strawberries once instead of cherries. Everyone wanted seconds! Thanks for sharing!

I've been making this very recipe for years now! Very very good and easy! I used fat free cool whip instead of normal to reduce the already low fat dessert!!

I found this in a cookbook I bought a few years back and I just made it tonight for my kids. They loved it so I had a bite and it is delicious. I will most definitely be making this in the future. I have also pinned it so my friends will like it as well!
