Desserts Recipe ⤞ Extra Special Banana Pudding

This has been a favorite of our family for years. The coconut adds a special crunchy touch. You can use vanilla pudding, if you prefer.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flaked coconut
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup butter, softened
• ½ cup white sugar
• 2 (5 ounce) packages instant banana pudding mix
• 6 cups cold milk
• 3 bananas, sliced
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, use fingers to mix together coconut, flour and sugar with butter until a crumbly mixture is formed. Spread on a baking sheet.
3. Bake in preheated oven until light brown, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes.
4. Prepare pudding mix with cold milk according to package directions. In a 9x13 inch dish, sprinkle two-thirds of the coconut mixture. Spread the prepared pudding over the crust. Top with sliced bananas and whipped topping. Sprinkle remaining crust on top and refrigerate until serving.
