Extra Special Banana Pudding

Ingredients

• 2 cups flaked coconut
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 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

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

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.

Bake in preheated oven until light brown, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes.

Prepare pudding mix with cold milk according to package directions. In a 9×13 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.
