Ingredients

Scale

1 box Hostess Twinkies
1 box Jell-O Banana Cream Instant Pudding Mix
2 cups Fairlife Whole Milk
1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip Original
3 Chiquita Bananas, sliced
1 box (11 oz) Nabisco Nilla Wafers

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk the Jell-O banana cream pudding mix and Fairlife milk together until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Fold in half of the Cool Whip gently until well combined.
Unwrap the Hostess Twinkies and slice them into bite-sized rounds.
In clear cups or mason jars, layer the sliced Twinkies, a scoop of banana pudding, sliced Chiquita bananas, and Nabisco Nilla Wafers.
Repeat the layers until the cups are full, ensuring the last layer is pudding.
Top each cup with a dollop of the remaining Cool Whip, a Nilla Wafer, and a slice of banana.
Chill for 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
