Banana Pudding Milkshake
As you may remember, I posted a milkshake recipe on my blog last week.
And I sort of had an epiphany.
Because really, my blender is probably the least used appliance in my kitchen.
(Except for sometimes when I make drinks. With stuff that rhymes with Shrum and Modka)
Anyways, it’s been HOT out and I don’t always feel like baking. And who knew that a blender is so dang useful in such a situation?!
Milkshake recipes are so easy to experiment with. It needs a little something? More of this, less of that? You don’t have to wait 20 minutes for it to finish baking to try it out.
Easy. Peasy.
Why haven’t I been making milkshakes this whole time?
Seriously, after coming up with this milkshake recipe, I started rethinking my whole blogging career.
Confessions of a Milkshake Queen? It could totally work.
My milkshake brings all the readers to the yard? Don’t try to say that isn’t catchy.
(I’ve lost you already, haven’t I?)
A few weeks ago, someone on Facebook mentioned how much they loved Chick Fil A‘s Banana Pudding Milkshake.
I’ve never had one, but I liked the sound of such a concoction. So….I made my own that tastes just like banana pudding. Not to brag, but mine is probably better than Chick Fil A’s. Because I honestly cannot imagine a better version than this one.
(click here for printable recipe)
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup milk
3 TBS instant banana cream pudding MIX
1/2 cup FROZEN whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
10 vanilla wafers
1 cup vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream, bananas, and vanilla wafers for garnish
Place ingredients in the blender in the order listed above. Blend until well mixed. Pour into a glass and garnish with whipped cream, cookies and banana slices.
Makes one large or two small shakes.
I hope you love this as much as I did.
Unless you hate bananas. And banana pudding. In that case, you’ll hate it. Sorry.
I hope you have a wonderful Monday!!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I realize you could be doing more important things with your time. Like watching the news or washing socks. I hope you stay awhile. Much more fun than socks, I promise. 
Ohhhh……There are endless possibilities with this. :)
Thank you. Smiles
I love your blog and writing style! You crack me up!
This shake sounds wonderful! I’ve been on a cookies ‘n cream shake kick lately. I’m gonna have to try this one! :)
I’m a banana hater. But this sounds like such a fun, easy recipe and really simple to adapt to any flavor! Definitely think I need to try this, maybe with coconut or butterscotch pudding! yummmm
You seriously crack me up!! Love it! :-) Refreshing dessert!!!

I do the same thing, but I also blend a banana and use 2 tbsp of instant vanilla pudding instead. You are right, it is an awesome concoction :)
HAHAHA “my milkshakes bring all the readers to the yard”?! Awesome. This sounds dreamy.

I think Milkshake Queen sounds good! I never ever use my blender. It’s sitting in my pantry right next to the quesadilla make that I thought I couldn’t live without ;)
Simple yet amazing, I love it!

My boys (hubby & eldest son) would love these!!
We haven’t got instant banana cream ppudding mix here (uk) but I think banana angel delight would work just as well :-)
Gonna test this bad boy!!!

You and your blender are a dangerous combo lady. Dangerous.

Banana Pudding Milkshakes are my favorite!!! They are pretty close to my other fav,… the Chocolate Banana Milkshake, but Banana Pudding Milkshakes are #1!!!

We make milkshakes all the time at our house, but I never think to blog about them! Of course, yours are looking pretty amazing. Love this combo, Kristan! Confession of a milkshake & cookbook queen!

Since I am an expert on ALL things Chick-fil-A, I think you should come to my house and make me one of YOUR banana pudding milkshakes and then I will tell you if it is better than Chick-fil-A’s version.
I wish you would have posted this two days ago when I was driving through your home state and I would have stopped by your house to save you the trip! ;D

You are just too clever for words! My blender is my least used appliance as well….except I usual pour something that rhymes with tapeela into it!

Okay, now I need you to make a chocolate pudding milkshake. Because I’m pretty sure that’d be even better than a normal chocolate milkshake. Fo’ shizzle.

I couldn’t agree more… the blender at this time of year is my best friend. This looks so tasty!

My new hand mixer came with one of those long milkshake blender attachment thingies. I can’t wait to use it to make this!!
I had a banana smoothie over this past weekend. It was great. I’m betting your shake is just a wonderful. My smoothie did not have any whipped cream so yours make for a wonderful added touch.

I’m late coming to this party, but I think all this needs is Shrum. ;) Awesome idea.
This sounds delicious! I will be giving it a try.

I don’t like bananas and they make my throat itch…
But something about banana pudding… I could explode with joy
Hey so first of all I LOVE the look of this milkshake but unfortunately i have celiac disease ( which means I can’t eat anything with gluten…ugh) so I was wondering if you could make this without adding the vanilla wafers in? Thanks :D
