The extra special ingredient is a coconut crust in this pudding made with instant banana pudding mix and whipped topping.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 2 cups flaked coconut
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 (5 ounce) packages instant banana pudding mix
- 6 cups cold milk
- 3 bananas, sliced
- 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, use fingers to mix together coconut, flour and sugar with butter until a crumbly mixture is formed. Spread on a baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until light brown, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes.
