RECIPE TIME

Come Together Pudding

1 box Nilla wafers

4 bananas, sliced

1 (3.5 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup milk

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup sour cream

16 teaspoon-sized dots of peanut butter

1/2 cup Hershey's chocolate, or hot fudge sauce, melted

1/2 cup Smucker's dulce de leche caramel sauce, melted

In a big mixing bowl, combine the pudding, condensed milk, and milk. Stir vigorously, or use a mixer and beat for 2 minutes. Place in refrigerator for 10 minutes.

In another mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Mix it and the sour cream into the pudding mixture until well combined. Put 1/2 the Nilla wafers on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan, and put 1/2 the sliced bananas on top; dollop the peanut butter in 4 even rows of 4 dots over this. Spread 1/2 the pudding mixture over the bananas and cookies, drizzle 1/2 the caramel and chocolate sauce over the pudding; repeat layers, ending with the sauces.

Enjoy!
