Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.

In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat pudding mix, milk and half-and-half at low speed until blended. Increase speed to medium until mixture is thickened (about 2 minutes).

In a 2-1/2 quart baking dish, layer ¼ of the vanilla wafers.

Cover with 2 sliced bananas.

Pour ⅓ of pudding over bananas.

Repeat layers twice, ending with pudding.

Place remaining vanilla wafers around edges of baking dish.

Prepare the meringue by beating the egg whites and vanilla at medium-high speed using a mixer until soft peaks form (about 1-1/2 minutes).
Slowly add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form (about 3 minutes).

Spread meringue over pudding.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until meringue is golden brown.
