Notes

I score this recipe a 9 out of 10, I can't stop eating it!

The pan size should be about 8 x 11, at least 4 inches tall. (8 x 11 = the same size as computer printer paper or notebook paper)

I prefer to use corningware for this desert, it is easier to prepare, cook, looks nicer, and is easier to cover and store since corningware comes with glass lids.

Makes about 8 servings.

Also: next time I make this, I will likely try to use 3 boxes instead of 2 boxes of pudding. This should make about 10 servings.


Ingredients

  • 1 16oz package of Nestle Tollhouse Brownie premade cookie dough. Get the kind that has chocolate chips if you can. (it should be cold when you buy it)
  • 2 3oz boxes of "Banana" Jello. Get the "Pudding and Pie Flavoring" kind if you can. (6oz total)
  • 4 cups milk (for jello)
  • 1 'bucket' of cool whip. (8oz)
  • 3 bananas
  • 6oz of chocolate (chips, hershey bar, whatever you want)

  • Instructions

    Make the desert crust

    Read the instructions on the back of the Brownie cookie dough package. Preheat the oven to the temperature it says.

    Shape the crust

    Use your fingers and thumbs to poke the dough into a crust the covers the entire bottom of the pan evenly.

    Cook the crust

    You will need to cook the crust all by itself in the oven for 33% to 50% longer than it says you should on the back of the brownie package instructions. My instructions said 15 minutes, it took a little over 20 minutes for the brownie crust to get a hard/crisp as needed to be a crust and not a cookie. Also it takes longer because the dough isnt spread out like cookies, it has to cook all of the dough at once.

    Cool the crust

    We want the crust 100% cooked and cooled before we add in any other ingredients. I recommend letting the crust and pan cool in the refrigerator for up to an hour before adding the pudding to it next.

    Make Pudding

    Use 2 boxes, 6oz total, of banana pudding Jello mix. Follow the instructions on the back of the Jello pudding box. You will probably need 4 cups of milk combined with the jello, heated in a saucepan.

    Cool the pudding

    After the pudding is done cooking, transfer all of the pudding into a seperate bowl. Put this bowl into the refrigerator for up to 1 hour. This will thicken the pudding.

    Slice

    all 3 bananas into small thin slices.

    Mash

    all of the chocolate into smaller peices. I put the chocolate into a plastic bag and then take a hammer to the bag to smash them into small peices. The bag usually has a few minor holes in it when I'm done. You want the chocolate to be almost a powder-like substance with small chocolate crumbs.

    Wait

    for the crust and pudding to be cooled.

    Apply

    Pour all pudding on top of the brownie crust. Even out the pudding so it is a flat surface.

    Sprinkle

    the chopped bananas evenly over the pudding. the bananas will be a thin layer between the pudding (below) and the cool whip (above)

    Open and Stir

    the bucket of coolwhip. After it has been stirred with a spoon for about a minute, it will become easier to work with

    Apply

    all of your coolwhip to the top of the pudding/bananas. use a spoon to even out the cool whip until there is a flat surface

    Sprinkle

    all of the mashed chocolate evenly over the whip cream cool whip.

    It is ready to eat!

    so long as the pudding and crust cooled for at least an hour, and the coolwhip was refrigerated right before using it
