Preparation

Step 1

Prepare pudding as directed on box. Cover and place in refrigerator to chill.

In a standing mixer, place two egg whites and cream of tartar. Mix on medium high speed until white and frothing.

Slowly add granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Keep cool.

Assembly: Turn oven on lowest broiler setting. Place one vanilla wafer, flat side up, on cookie sheet. Place approximately 1/2 teaspoon vanilla pudding on top of wafer. Place one slice of banana, approximately 1/4 inch thick, on top of pudding. Using a butter knife, take a small amount of meringue and place on top of banana slice, drawing knife upward to create a peak. Repeat assembly steps to make as many as desired.

(NOTE: You must work quickly as meringue will slowly lose its stiffness.)
Once all are assembled, place cookie sheet in oven for 5-7 minutes or until meringue is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from oven and cool completely before serving.
