This banana pudding fudge is the best of both worlds — all of that creamy banana pudding flavor you love, packed into a simple, no-fuss fudge. It only takes a couple of minutes to put together and you don't need any fancy equipment. A fun and unexpected twist you'll want to make again and again!
Roughly chop 20 ounces almond bark into small pieces to help it melt more evenly later. Set aside.
Crush 20 Nilla Wafer cookies into small pieces and set aside.
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, leaving extra on the sides for easy lifting.
Pour the 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Warm it in the microwave for 1 minute on full power, stopping every 20 seconds to stir. It should be hot, but not boiling.
Add the 3.4 ounces instant banana cream pudding mix to the hot sweetened condensed milk and stir until fully combined.
Add the chopped 20 ounces almond bark and stir to coat.
Cook on high, in 20 second bursts, stirring after each trip to the microwave until all of the almond bark is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Once mixed well, transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
Sprinkle the crushed cookies over the top of the fudge and use your hands to lightly press down on the crumbs so they adhere to the fudge better.
Cover the fudge and place in the fridge to set, at least 4 hours.
Cut set fudge into squares and enjoy!
Notes
You can use white candy melts in place of the almond bark if you would like.
Store your fudge in an airtight container. It will be good for a few days at room temperature, a week in the fridge, or several months in the freezer.
