Delicious layers of fruit, pudding, Twinkies and Cool Whip topped off with chopped pecans. This is a perfect summertime dessert as there is no cooking or baking. It is hubby's and my summertime favorite dessert! Read more ! Cook time is Chill time.
Ingredients:
1 pkg. of 10 hostess twinkies or 10 single twinkies
1 lrg. can crushed pineapple; drained
5-6 lrg.bananas; split in half lengthwise
1 pkg. vanilla instant pudding; prepared
1 cup cool whip
pecans; chopped
Directions:
1. Layer in a 13x9x2 pan in the order as listed above.
2. Refrigerate for at least 3 hrs. before serving. Enjoy!
3. MARILYN'S NOTES: I think that they are making Twinkies smaller these
4. days. This time, I had to split the Twinkies in 1/2 lengthwise to line
5. my pan. So, next time, I may just buy 2 pkgs. for a total of 20
6. Twinkies. Depends upon how much cake you like.
7. This time I was lazy so I bought 1 can (15.75 oz.) of Thank You Vanilla
8. Pudding made with Skim Milk instead of making the Instant Pudding. No
9. difference. This is the way to go for fast, easy preparation!
10. I used 3/4 tub of Cool Whip. 1 cup just does not do it. In fact, I
11. used the Sugar Free Cool Whip this time.
