Ingredients
- 1 3.4oz Box of Instant Vanilla Pudding
- 2 Large Bananas
- 6 oz Vanilla Wafers
- 2 Cups Whole Milk
- 6 6" Flour Tortillas
- 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 3 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract divided
- 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add 1 sliced banana, ½ Cup of crushed vanilla wafers and the pudding mix to a medium mixing bowl.
- Pour the 2 cups of milk into the mixing bowl and mix well with a whisk. Cover and place in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest.
- In a small bowl melt the butter and add the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, stir to mix well.
- Brush this butter over both sides of a tortilla. Stand up in the crease of the back of a muffin tin (not a cupcake tin - muffin tins are bigger). You should be able to bake 2 at a time like this.
- Place the muffin tin (with the tortillas) into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Watch closely - the edges should turn a golden brown when they're ready.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle a little more sugar over while they're still hot.
- Repeat with the remaining taco shells until they have all baked and cooled.
- Add the cream, vanilla and powdered sugar to a separate bowl and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Place the baked tacos into a dish, all standing upright. Fill to ⅔ full with the refrigerated banana pudding.
- Slice the remaining sliced bananas and arrange on top along with a little more crushed vanilla wafers.
- Top with the whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed vanilla wafers.
Notes
- Making the vanilla taco shells will not work with a regular cupcake pan as it will be too small - if you don't have a muffin tin you could lay them down flat on a baking sheet and place something on the inside of a folded tortilla that is oven proof. A small ramekin maybe.
- Using instant pudding mix does make an easy banana pudding. If you prefer to make your own pudding.
- You could use mini vanilla wafers if you prefer.
- When mixing the banana pudding you could use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, if you have one. It'll help mix it nicely. It's not totally necessary though.
- You could make the tortillas yourself too, if you're feeling up to it. It will add more time to the preparation time though. Search for a dessert tortilla recipe - add a cup of batter to a pan and allow tortillas to cook for a minute or two. You'll probably need all purpose flour, an egg mixture and some sugar.
- I've heard of people using those little snack pack puddings to make this. I guess it could work if you don't mind that pudding.
- Make your banana pudding mobile. Take an individual packet of vanilla wafers and spoon your banana pudding mix into it, with some cream and a disposable spoon. Now you have walking tacos.
