Time 12h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2/3 cup instant malted milk powder
1 pinch kosher salt
2 cups heavy cream
4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced (about as thick as the wafers)
7 ounces vanilla wafers

Steps:

  • Line a 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan with plastic, so there's a fair amount of overhang.
  • Add the malted milk powder and salt to a bowl. Add a splash of cream and whisk. Add another splash of cream and whisk. Continue this until you've added all the cream. (This ensures that the malted milk powder gets evenly distributed and doesn't get all lumpy and weird.) Continue to whip the cream until stiff peaks form. (A balloon or cage whisk helps, if you have one.).
  • Add a single layer of wafers to the bottom of the loaf pan. Top with a layer of whipped cream. Add a single layer of bananas. Top with a layer of whipped cream. Repeat this until you've used all the cream-making sure to end with the cream. If it starts to rise above the loaf pan, that's fine! Even good. Fold the extra plastic over the icebox cake. If it doesn't completely cover the surface, add more plastic wrap.
  • Chill for at least 12 hours or up to 36.
  • To unmold, peel away the plastic from the top. Carefully-but confidently-turn the loaf pan onto a plate or serving platter. Peel away the plastic. Slice into thick slabs and eat cold.

Number Of Ingredients 6

NOTE:
1 or 2 amall boxes Instant pudding mix, Banana Cream and/or White Chocolate recommended (prepared as directed on package for a pie)
4-6 mediumm ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
Box of Nilla vanilla wafers
8 to 16 ozs. Cool Whip whipped topping (or prepared whipping cream)
For a 9" pan, I used 2 boxes of pudding mix (one banana cream and one vanilla, combined with 2 1/2 cups milk, 6 bananas, and about 16 ozs. Cool Whip. You may have to adjust ingredient amounts for other sized pans.

Steps:

  • In a 9" Springform pan, layer as follows: 1) Cookies in bottom of pan 2) Pudding, thin layer 3) Sliced bananas 4) Cool Whip (or prepared whipped cream) Repeat layers 3-4 times, or until pan is full, ending with Cool Whip on top. Garnish with crumble cookies, if desired. Chill 4-6 hours before removing side of pan. Slice as you would a cake and serve. Garnish each slice with florets of whipped cream, if desired.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use ripe bananas that are free of brown spots.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to line it with plastic wrap so that you can easily remove the cake from the pan.
  • If you want to make a chocolate banana pudding icebox cake, simply add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the pudding mixture.
  • For a fun twist, try adding some chopped nuts, fruit, or candy to the pudding mixture before assembling the cake.
  • Be sure to chill the cake for at least 4 hours before serving, or overnight for best results.
