In a pudding cup layer in order -
Vanilla pudding (homemade if you can, otherwise box is fine)
Crumbled vanilla wafers
Sliced bananas
Dollops of Cool Whip
Crumbled walnut/a sprinkling of nutmeg if you want
That sounds super easy (if disgusting). Not sure it's worth all this anxiety.
It's not the Op's recipe. Just an example of how you can throw together something very quickly. I'm sure that someone could come up with something a bit more elegant - maybe even a layered pumpkin/vanilla dish.
But the MIL requested that dish specifically, not just anything. I'm with the people upthread who are wondering why the MIL can't make/buy her own dessert.
Maybe because the MIL is providing the house, and the hospitality, and the use of her kitchen/silverware/dishes, and every other dish on the table?
I guess my family is different, because in my family we don't expect one relative, especially an elderly relative, to take on the entire burden. My mom usually hosts, and the rest of us actually ask her what she'd like us to bring, and then follow her suggestions.
OP already said that her MIL is ordering everything else for the dinner.
So, do you think you order magically appear? You don't have to
pay for them, or drive to pick them up, or arrange them for the table?
Hosting guests, and serving a full meal, even if you didn't cook any of it, is still more work than making pudding.
