Ingredients

For the Pudding

  • 2 .9 oz Packages of Jell-O Zero Sugar Banana Cream Pudding (NO COOK)
  • 4 Cup 1% Milk
  • 3 Large Ripe Bananas, Sliced
  • 30 Reduced Fat Nilla Wafers

For the Meringue

  • 4 Large Egg Whites
  • 1/2 Tsp Cream of Tartar
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare the Jell-O pudding mixes according to the package instructions, using the 4 cups of 1% milk. Allow it to set in the refrigerator for the specified time until it thickens.

Assembly

  • In the 2-quart baking dish, begin by placing a layer of Nilla Wafers on the bottom.
    Add a layer of sliced bananas on top of the wafers.
    Spoon a layer of the prepared banana pudding mixture over the bananas, spreading it evenly.
    Repeat the layering process: add another layer of Nilla Wafers, followed by a layer of sliced bananas, and then a layer of pudding.
    Continue alternating layers until you've used up all the pudding mixture, ending with a layer of pudding on top.

For the Meringue

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    In a clean, dry bowl, beat the 4 egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
    Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
    Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the sugar is completely dissolved.
