  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Servings: 1 Delight

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 – 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup pecan meal
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 container Cool Whip
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 small boxes banana instant pudding
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 3 ripe bananas

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, butter, and 3/4 of the pecan meal. Mix until well combined.

  2. Create Crust: Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a baking pan to form the crust. Ensure it’s firmly pressed. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown.

  3. Cool and Freeze: Allow the crust to cool completely, then transfer it to the freezer to chill while you prepare the other layers.

  4. Prepare Creamy Layer: In a separate mixing bowl, blend together the confectioners’ sugar, Cool Whip, and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This will be your second layer.

  5. Layering: Once the crust has chilled, spread the creamy mixture evenly over the crust, creating a smooth layer.

  6. Banana Pudding Layer: In another bowl, prepare the banana instant pudding according to the package instructions, using cold milk. Once the pudding is ready, pour it evenly over the cream cheese layer.

  7. Top with Cool Whip: Take the remainder of the Cool Whip and spread it over the banana pudding layer, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

  8. Final Touch: Sprinkle the remaining pecan meal or chopped nuts over the top for an added crunch and decorative touch.

  9. Chill and Serve: Place the Banana Delight back into the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until it’s firmly set. Once set, remove it from the freezer, slice it into portions, and serve chilled.
