Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole Milk Provides the richest and creamiest base
- 14 ounce Sweetened Condensed Milk Adds sweetness and a thick texture
- 12 ounce Evaporated Milk Contributes to creamy consistency and enhances flavor
- 3.4 ounce Instant Banana Pudding Mix Provides banana flavor and helps thicken
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances sweetness and adds aroma
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (optional) Adds warm, comforting spice
Garnish (Optional)
- Vanilla Wafers Crushed, for garnish
- Fresh Banana Slices For garnish
Instructions
- Combine the Milks: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk until well combined. This creates the creamy base for your drink. Make sure to whisk vigorously to ensure that all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add the Banana Pudding Mix: Gradually whisk in the instant banana pudding mix until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps. Adding the mix slowly and whisking continuously will prevent clumps from forming.
- Flavor with Vanilla and Nutmeg: Add the vanilla extract and ground nutmeg (if using). Stir well to incorporate the flavors. These ingredients add depth and complexity to the flavor profile.
- Chill: Pour the mixture into glasses or bottles. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Chilling the drink is essential for developing the flavors and achieving the perfect consistency.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with crushed vanilla wafers and fresh banana slices, if desired. Stir well before serving. Garnish adds a visual appeal and enhances the overall experience.
