About this deal
Her friend has been bringing Nilla Wafers to lunch at school, and she came home and asked if I could try to make some from scratch, which I thought was a good idea! When finished the pudding can be served warm or at room temperature but I definitely prefer it chilled. They would be more like graham crackers than Nilla wafers, but I could picture that with banana pudding. My Nilla Wafers recipe breaks down how to bake these rich, buttery wafer cookies bursting with yummy vanilla flavor.
Possibly also worth noting: I tried many versions using cornstarch (one of my favorite secret ingredients).I live in Europe and need the mini version of the boxed cookie to make “acorns” for a woodland themed birthday party…I worry scooping might make them too big, or too inconsistent!
You can’t have my Nilla Wafers Banana Pudding recipe or my 15 Minute Banana Cream Pie (No Bake) recipe without crisp Nilla Wafers.The original Nilla product is the Nilla wafer, a round, thin, light wafer cookie made with flour, sugar, shortening, and eggs. Hi Kate, well I happened to notice a few gluten free versions of Nilla Wafers when I was making this! You could also say I’m the resident icing piper, cookie decorator, and cake decorator…speaking of, do you have time for seconds? Comparable in many ways to the langues de chat (a French cookie) but much thicker and very highly recommended! Made with my gfJules Gluten Free Flour, no one would ever know these light and clean-tasting cookies were gluten free.
